Breslawski, Kevin – Super #3

Website

Super #3 Now Available! $3

Another issue of Super means more Swag, and this one has a couple of stickers and my favorite button of the bunch, a picture of the inside cover (not scanned, sorry) showing a man shouting out his love. This is also his longest comic yet, and it deals with things like the death of his hamster, a gunfight, beauty, the man he killed, smoking, and eating in a time of war. Not sure why this is so much more expensive than the other issues (these must be expensive to produce, maybe he was just undercharging on the other issues), but it’s still a gorgeous book and very handy for people who love buttons and stickers. $8

If you’re the type of person who likes swag with your comics (meaning buttons and stickers), Kevin is your man. Once again the actual comic is difficult to describe, as it’s mostly a series of disconnected images. The main story, or at least the longest coherent piece in here, deals with the fact that Kevin is unable to turn off Dawson’s Creek. Past that you have various puns and disturbing images dealing with video games, space, pizza, the good old USA, and a super punch battle. Again, not the best thing in the world if you demand a linear story in your comics, but visually it’s damned impressive.

You may be thinking that that’s an awful lot of samples for two comics, and that’s true, it usually would be. Kevin, however, is not satisfied with a simple mini and makes these both fun packs o’ goodies. This first issue is in a little sleeve (pictured first) with two tiny minis inside, not to mention a couple of stickers and buttons. The automatically gets a high grade on my nonexistent grading scale for making these automatically impressive before you even open the damned things. Once you get to the actual comic, there’s no linear story to speak of, just a series of visual explosions. Topics briefly touched on here include ninjas, politics, drunks, regrets, listening, and hope. I would almost compare this to a sketchbook if the images weren’t so complex and fully realized. It’s not the kind of comics you see every day, that’s for sure, and well worth a look to people who are able to read comics that don’t necessarily go from a point A to a point B. $3
