Full-color minicomic. This is a raunchy black comedy set in a world where superheroes and supervillains have spontaneously appeared and it's illegal for any normal civilian to interfere with them or attempt to imitate them. The main character likes to (illegally) dress up in a cape, and he accidentally kills a villain and is mistaken for a new superhero.
Minimalist storytelling and some amusing superhero and villain concepts work well here, but the plight of the main character is what really hooked me.
Solid start with a bunch of clever ideas.
Rating: 8/10
