Zander Cannon

And now we find out about the mysterious background of Jeff Smax, one of the stalwarts of the Top Ten police force: he's from a fantastic parallel world. Alan Moore starts with a world dominated by the tropes of fairy tales and high fantasy quest fiction and infects it with all the worst traits of our own world: bureaucracy, inflation, suburban sprawl, and scams. The result is hilarious-- and even against this background, he manages to depict a very grave villain indeed.

I think people who grew up watching the Godzilla movies and Japanese TV imports like Ultraman would probably get a big kick out of this. Alas, my local TV stations didn't carry much of that when I was a kid, feeding me mostly a diet of John Wayne westerns and American sci-fi like Star Trek and that movie with the Michael Ironside lookalike where women rule the world and men are mutants (every other weekend at least).

I like this as a parody of prison movies and the HBO Oz series, and I show more started getting caught up in all the scheming and plotting by the end despite not much caring about all the big monsters and robots. show less

Could not have predicted that this series would get me with the sorrow of a kaiju named Go-Go Space Baby sending time dilated letters to her given-up son, who was adopted by Ultramen. No joke, this is just a phenomenal series that Zander Cannon outdid himself on with each successive season.

Outstanding. You don't really know you needed a mix of Ultraman Kaiju Oz (the prison show), but once you do get into it, Cannon's storytelling is just captivating. Case in point, Zonn's quiet psychopathic prison stare genuinely freaks me out more than any Kaiju rampaging through a city.
