This trade paperback reprints the recent comic book mini-series Captain Carrot and the Final Ark. Before the mini-series, the book features a few pages of "Whatever Happened to Captain Carrot?", which appeared in two issues of Teen Titans comics. This was an attempt to parody the "grim and gritty" trend in comics and didn't really work for me, especially the mischaracterization of Alley-Kat-Abra. After this brief prologue, we get the actual mini-series. This is more like a traditional Captain Carrot comic book, although it still parodies recent comic book trends like the government banning super-heroes and "Crisises". It also manages to fix some of the wrong-headed things from the prologue. I enjoyed this series quite a bit. The mini-series was only three issues long, so this book also reprints some classic Captain Carrot comics; specifically the group's origin and their team-up with the JLA (Just'a Lotta Animals).

To the good old days when I was a uyoung lad reading comics in the back of my parents station wagon.
