The Helmet of Fate : Detective Chimp #1 - DC


First of all, look at that beautiful Brian Bolland cover. That's the best looking animal cover I've seen since . . . . well . . Animal Man. Man he used to put some beautiful covers on that book. Well . . . . Wonder Woman too. Anyways, who ever thought they'd see a Detective Chimp comic in this day and age? Not me. From what I understand this is a prequel to the upcoming Fate comic. I guess there's going to be 5 of these. Basically the Fate helmet comes to 5 different people trying to find a new home. This one's brought to us by Bill Willingham and Shawn McManus. They make a pretty good team. And of course with Bill and D.C. involved, you just know you're going to see Shadowpact. It starts out on the Rock of Eternity when D.C. told Shazam to throw the helmet in to outerspace, and let fate decide where it will end up. Well it went full circle, and came right back to the chimp. He tried it on for a day, but it just wasn't for him. He's just got to analytical of a mind, to be able to decide what to do with all the knowledge that the Fate helmet gives to the wearer. So he kicks it back in to the void. Next issue, Zauriel and Sargon are up. I wonder how they'll deal with it?
