I read it. I loved it. The world needs more Ambush Bug. I tend to be a fan of comical superheroes in general, but the Bug is special. Nothing Irwin (his real name. How nerdy am I to know that?) has ever done has been less than spectacular.
Even awesome comedy characters like Plastic Man and Deadpool are landed with the occasional writer who doesn't "get" them, and the results are disappointing. But Giffen has always taken care to see to it that the Bug is exceptionally funny.
I would go so far to say that he deserves a movie, but it seems to me that his obscurity and cult fanbase are precisely the reason nobody has tried to cash in by giving him "wider appeal", i.e. ruining what makes him special to the rest of us. If it means he stays this awesome, I'd be happy to wait another 22 years for more Ambush Bug.
