[Ambush Bug wil explain what _really_ caused all the crises in the DC universe.](http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=157267) DC is letting Keith Giffen do whatever he wants with the Bug _and_ the DC universe.

Can you say _“doom”_?

Site is down at this time. Is the Ambush Bug version supposed to be full canon? I always dismissed A.B. as inhabiting an alternate “absurdiverse” parallel to the main DC line. Sort of how Lobo went from a serious character to being played for laughs.

[/QUOTE]  
Ambush Bug has always been loose canon.

Most likely, it’ll point out the incinsistencies and silliness of the whole concept of canon.

I don’t go to comic book stores anymore. Haven’t in years.

I might just have to change that, at least once. I love Ambush Bug. Hope there’s some Hukka abuse!
