| Super Hero Happy Hour |
| While for the most part there is no plot - characters sit around the bar swapping villains like trading cards, complaining about their action figures, or figuring out new super hero names - the dialogue is clever and very funny, which is what makes the comic so entertaining. If you ever saw The Tick cartoon show, you'd understand what I mean. Some of the jokes only work for readers familiar with super heroes, but for the most part the humor is pretty universal.
The art is also very good. Much better than you get from most small, self-published comic books. Fason uses some cheats in his panel art and some backgrounds would have been helpful for establishing scenes, but over all his simple, quirky style helps sell the jokes. If I can't imagine a different artist working on a story, then I figure it's the right artist for the story. Such is the case here. |
