Mystery Men Comics #2

I gave the first book in this series five stars but things really dropped in this issue.  It is neat to go back into time and read the stories that are over seventy years old.  The thing about this issue is that it has fifteen stories and they all seem to be the same.
 

More than half of these stories dealt with poor stereotypes as evil people.  Especially the Chinese.  I realize it is a different time but even if you forget the the obvious prejudices.  More than half the stories about about smugglers.  Two separate stories had the bad guys bringing in Chinese Aliens to the United States.
 
If I was any of the minorities in this comic I would not enjoy it that much.  The fact that there are so many stories that are the same nearly put me to sleep.  The Blue Beetle was not even that good.  That said at least he fought some armored car robbers.  That said his story was shorter (only four pages) and his costume was completely changed with no explanation.  It was really unfortunate because that is the biggest reason I'm reading these comics.
 
Over all there are a lot of interesting things in this book to go back into time about.  On the other hand it was pretty dull.  I gave the book three-and-a-half-stars.  I recommend it to comic historians who have to know everything about comics.
