KAMEELMAN #3

A1 Oregon Publishing
T-Bone/Randall/Taylor

The "Low Fidelity" storyline wraps up as Todd's true intentions are revealed, tricks are played, and Zack gets some good news.

T-Bone does a decent job of capturing teen behavior, although it's more "WB" and less what's really going on next door. Still, he successfully juggles a large cast and manages to differentiate the characters effectively. It's apparent that Tiger holds a special place in T-Bone's heart, as she continues to receive much attention.

Ron Randall's art has gotten better, if that's possible - perhaps he and inker James Taylor have gotten into the most comfortable groove. Despite being in black and white, the pictures pop right off the page.

Astute readers may notice a parallel between the teens at the pool party and Zack (the "Kameelman"). Some kids lie, some pretend to be something they're not, some mislead - all things that Zack does himself when he uses his powers. I hope T-Bone and crew continue to explore that issue.

The dialogue could benefit from tighter editing (there's an epidemic of oddly placed quotation marks, for instance), but the story moves right along. I just wish that the ending didn't seem quite so obvious and inevitable. Still, KAMEELMAN is a perfect book for fans looking for a bit less superheroics and a little more "Dawson's Creek."
