Anyway, this is a fairly ugly comic, as you can tell from the cover, and his synopsis of his 24 hour day is not the usual frantic race to the finish line that these things usually are, as he spent time to sleep, eat and do other things in his allotted 24 hours. Luckily for him the story is a lot of fun, so the sloppy art doesn’t mean all that much. We’re not often treated to becoming a super villain as a second job, and it’s funny to see how the town is overrun with “capes” and their constant battles. The super villain (and hero) names are also fairly ridiculous, and it’s quite a crowd for them all being made up when the 24 hour time limit started. If you’re looking for a run down of the plot, well, it’s mostly chaos. How to get super powers, protecting a cousin and being thrilled to be beaten up by a famous villain are all in here. If you’re looking for the prettiest book on the block, forget this one. If you’re just looking for a good time and like to see the super heroes getting lampooned, you could do a lot worse than this.
