It’s been a while since I read an issue of Troublemakers, and this 11th issue, just a little over halfway through the entirety of the comic’s run, shows why it’s a bit of a tragedy that it’s not as well remembered as other 90s comics.

In this issue, a quest for chocolate milk leads to a chase for a comic book, which in turn leads to a massive amount of chaos. Meanwhile, another of the Troublemakers has a life-changing secret that they’re trying to keep to themselves…

This is a pretty fun issue, though it suffers from some questionable depictions of POC that, coupled with the exaggerated art style, border on being racist.

Given the diversity and thoughtfulness of Fabian Nicieza’s writing in Troublemakers, this seems especially unfortunate, and isn’t likely to have been intentional. Still, it does leave a bit of a bad taste overall.

Not only do I earn no income from my writing here (though I may earn small fees from affiliate links posted on my pages; as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases from these links), but it seems that my work has, at times, been stolen and re-used by lazy, morally bankrupt idiots.
