Super Hero Happy Hour #1<\/strong><\/p>\n

There’s good superhero parody, bad superhero parody and than there’s the kind that makes no sense to people who haven’t living and breathing this stuff for years. This is good parody, sure, but it’s very insiderish. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your point of view, as it’s not like people who don’t read comics are going to pick something up with a title like this anyway, right? Anyway the concept is that a bunch of superheroes are hanging out at a bar after a hard day of fighting crime. More than a few funny lines ensue and there’s something absolutely mesmerizing about the art. It just feels like it’s moving all the time, or maybe it’s all those drugs in the water. A solid effort all around. There’s just one little problem, and this is my nitpicking and leaning towards the negative more than anything else: it’s the first issue of a series. As a novelty it was fine, I’d recommend it to anybody who likes a good parody. As a continuing series, well, I’m not sure if superheroes sitting around a bar and chatting really has that many places to go. I’m sure they have some ideas of they wouldn’t have made a series out of it, I guess it’s just that I have my doubts about its longevity. This issue earned a look by me for the next couple of issues, but I’m going to have an awfully critical eye on this one. Check out the website<\/a>…<\/p>\n
