I was really looking forward to this. This is an epic crossover I could only ever dream about happening. Two of the strongest genre characters on tv in the 70s meeting each other. And for the most part, it accomplished what it set out to conquer. The story makes sense, for the most part. I could see this as happening on 70s tv (with budget restrictions paring some of it down.) It was a decent read. However.....
It wasn't perfect. While the story was enjoyable, it read no better than competent fan fiction. You could tell it was written by a fanboy who tried to cram every single character and reference from both shows into the story. And by doing that, it really did bring it down to fanfic level. There are too many things going on. The plot is way too dense. There are waaaaaaaay too many characters. Clearly the editor on this book had no power to say PARE THIS MESS DOWN. Okay, maybe mess is the wrong word, because it was decent enough, but it was not nearly as good as it could have been.
I love this whole series of books DC has been doing by itself and with other publishers. It's fun fluff to read. Lord knows we can all use an escape.
