So? The indie comics take over the DC Universe for this second Bizarro volume, with fantastic results. These are short stories that take DC's superheroes into territory that will horrify the fanboy and delight everyone else. A quick flip through the book and you can't help but be drawn in to stories such as Mo Willems' and Ellen Forney's "The Wonder of it All," in which gawky teenage Diana Prince gets her truth-telling lasso (by mail order, natch) and is horrified to learn what her friends, teachers and family are really thinking about her. Or Patton Oswalt and Bob Fingerman's "Batman Smells," which comes up with a reason for the famous variation on "Jingle Bells." Mike Doughty and Danny Hellman find Aquaman, heartbroken over his breakup with Mera, daring to vent his feelings at open mic night only to be upstaged by Robin, meet a cute but not-quite-right girl and go home to his annoyingly juvenile roommate ... Green Arrow. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Bizarro himself doesn't appear in every story — or even that many of them at all — but superhero fans and indie comics enthusiasts alike will find there's no way you can go wrong with this one. Grade: A+
