With a cover that looks like a tabloid carrying the headline "Gay Heroes Rescues Pussy", well, this wasn't a comic I could pass up. Especially considering that sweet cover price. Seriously? $1.00! Take me back to those sweet 99-cent days!

When you go pick this up, and yes I do mean when (It. Costs. One. Buck. Dude!), you will find the story of superhero slackers. That's right, superhero slackers. What do all superheroes do? Try to stop evil. What do these guys do? Try to party all night, play video games all day, and play the occasional game of hoops. And that's what they do to our amusement.

Who are they? There's Dust, the "leader" of the group, if couch potatoes actually have leaders. Then there's Wormhole. He opens worm holes to avoid using the subway and to go eat foreign food in foreign countries. But don't let him "drive" when he's been drinking. You could wind up anywhere. Then there's What's Up, the homosexual coffee-jockey with stretchy powers. He's Mr. Fantastic if Reed was a slack ass and no smarter than Ben Grimm. What? Reed's not gay? No, Sue's just a cover. Ok, fine...and "if" Mr. Fantastic was gay...

The humor is shown us by Alan Quah's vibrant art, with outstanding colors from Scott Kester and Kamikaze Studio.

It's not just beer jokes and video games, either. You'll find satire on superhero names, reality tv, and video games. So call your comic shop and tell them to get you a copy. Or find it online. I can't wait until next issue because this story could go...Anywhere!
