Credits Grade: 7 Fairies have invaded England, trapping Parliament in their chambers, holding the Queen hostage at the Globe Theater and generally running amok.Back in the States musician Dizzy Gisborne, actor Sir Tottington and writer Gene Everyman make their way back home, accepting their mission from Merlin to save England. Although Dizzy, Totty and Gene are the main characters, they are almost upstaged by the secondary characters. Gene gets help from a sassy black woman named Laverne and Totty gets help not only from his boyfriend, but also a rather flamboyant performer named Sir Emerald. The humor continues in this second issue, amost as funny as the first issue, with more emphasis on physical humor rather than verbal repartee. I particularly liked the faires attempting to take over radio a la Frasier and that fairies want to talk about the tax code in Parliament. Dizzy is either slightly more comprehensible this time around or I'm getting the hang of his dialect. A fun ride so far and hopefully more fun to follow. Written: December 6, 2009
