Challenge your imagination as you battle the mightiest villains in an exciting, action-filled adventure through GOTHAM CITY, METROPOLIS, ATLANTIS. Also, Maxwell and Lily are still incredibly aggravating as protagonists, but they have some nice interaction with their dopplegangers. In Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure, Maxwell unites with Batman, Superman and the rest of The Justice League to restore order to the DC Comics Universe. Some of the jokes are forced, some are cliches, and some are just annoying, and the plot is paper thin. That said, the scripting still isn’t phenomenal. I really commend Elder and Archer for it, as it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a DC book this month. It’s utilized even better here, though, because while Easter eggs and cameos in previous issues were nice little gags, it serves the story well and actually moves the plot along. It’s a great visual, and a perfect example of one of this book’s strengths. Laid out like a board game, there are nods to Pre-New-52 DC events woven throughout Xanadu’s monologue. Scribblenauts Unmasked: A Crisis of Imagination 8: The Game of Everything/The Magical Multiverse Tour Written by Josh Elder Illustrated by Adam Archer Colors by Ian Herring Letters by Saida. It’s by no means perfect, with the same problems and annoyances that were present before, but the lack of focus allowed for some great visuals and really interesting storytelling mechanics.īy far the best part of the issue is when Madame Xanadu explains the history of the Anti-Monitor to Maxwell and Lily. While I usually fault books for that, weirdly enough, that actually made this issue more fun to read than others in the run. Scribblenauts Unmasked is the franchises first licensed game, and Maxwell will explore the DC Comics universe, meaning he can summon heroes like Superman and Batman with just one word. To be frank, not an awful lot happens this issue. With the Justice League incapacitated as shadow monster… things, our protagonists need to build an army to save the heroes and take down the Anti-Monitor. Previously, we saw Maxwell and Lily as the sole survivors of the Anti-Monitor’s scourge, spirited away to Limbo by Madame Xanadu.
