I have to be in the mood for silly spoofs of Star Trek, goofy pop culture references, and juvenile physical comedy. But, when in the mood, this omnibus hits all of my absurd funny bones. Narrator Thron’s exaggerated, pulpy portrayals are phenomenal, from valley girl sounding werewolf Miz to Mech the smart or strong cyborg. There’s translated cussing of the “what the flonk” variety and zero actual nooky, but there is a lot of teenage-level boob-jokes or ball-gags, so I’d rate this as for teens and up. By book 3, the PG tone changes a bit, where heads explode and torture is described instead of merely fading to black. But, it’s all still of the John Carpenter Goes to Mars variety.
