SuperZero Vol. 1
by Jimmy Palmiotti, Marcelo Maiolo, Amanda Conner, Rafael de Latorre
This is the perfect example of a book's ending that I didn't like much but it didn't stop me from loving 85% of this book.
So what's it about? A teenager called Dru wants to be a superhero. No, this isn't Kickass. This is a girl who believes in powers. She wants to become Spider-man or someone like Mr. Fantastic, or jut wants powers to save people. So we go through trial and error through the next few issues with her trying her best to become a hero but recreating the terrible events that created famous heroes. It's meta-commentary at it's finest with sharp and witty dialog. However, when her final mission becomes dangerous what will she do?
Good: I love the dialog, even if it isn't too realistic, it's always fun. It's like watching edge of seventeen or Juno, where the dialog sounds fake, but it's so sharp and funny you really don't care. I also really enjoyed the art. Which is funny since it's by the creator of THe Pro, which I gave a big fat 0 out of 5. But here it works well. The character development is great, and watching Dru interact with everyone works really well.
Bad: I DIDN'T like the ending at ALL!!! It was just....dumb. And then the "cliffhanger" will always be there because I don't think we're ever getting another one.
Overall, despite a bad ending, I loved it. It was well done, fun, and colorful. Well worth reading even with a poor ending. A 4 out of 5.
