Croc went from this mysterious, cunning character to someone that was quick to rage and acted without thought. I’m a little disappointed but the latter is usually how Killer Croc is portrayed.

This installment of this story was much more enjoyable than the previous. I didn’t feel like we were grasping at straws to miraculously come up with the correct answers.

I enjoy Killer Croc much more than The Squid, though I think they could have drawn him out more.
