Because publishers want you to buy their product every month, comics are typically serial in nature. However, occasionally (and more often nowadays than ever before) publishers launch a comic title that is only meant to last for one issue. While ongoing series often have multiple chances to hook in new readers, the comics highlighted in this ongoing investigations only had One-Shot At Greatness!

The Skunk and Macy are sent on a mission by the government to stop the Roll and Cyber-Licious from hijacking a satellite. Cyber-Licious and the Roll are on a mission to use the satellite to brainwash the inhabitants of Earth to act violently. I’ll let you in on a little secret here … only one of these duos is going to succeed in their mission.
In the battle that follows, the Roll removes the Skunk’s mask! (Something that had not been done in the six issues of the ongoing Skunk series). However, the “shocking” site is quite a large let-down and certainly doesn’t live up to the hype on the cover.
As with every other Skunk comic, the series is light and fun with nice, slick artwork. All action … no characterization … and farts.
