It's clever to turn blood quantum and the Bureau of Indian Affairs into the basis for a horror story arc where the bureaucrats literally suck the life force from Native Americans, but even for a retro superhero story this one is too clumsy and herky-jerky to really get into. Half-hearted references are made to The Bride of Frankenstein and The Princess Bride, but a large part of the story is devoted to a parody of the Twilight movies that doesn't go far enough in eviscerating them for my taste.

A back-up story about bingo is a nonsensical chore to read and really drives home that Super Indian, the character, is really not very competent or even essential to the series at this point. Maybe it's time to actually let him be heroic?

A third volume of Super Indian seems to be in limbo right now, but I'd check it out if it ever gets published. ( )
