This comic is part of a mini-series about a boy who reads a lot of comics and has always wondered why no-one has ever tried to be a super hero. He found out the hard way that it's easy to get involved with some very dangerous and powerful enemies. The cover describes this danger, and I like the style of the artwork. The lines are very thin, so the colours come out more. If you're not a fan of graphic violence then you might not like the story line, The story is plausible as there are no super powers, just costumes and vigilante justice. The main character gets injured and ends up covered in bandages, like you'd expect in real life. Due to injuries at the beginning of the story, the main character can't feel pain, and the other characters rely on weapons and martial arts training.

I like the artwork in this comic, it's reminiscent of comics of the 1930s such as Dick Tracey. The colours are muted and almost pastel. The story line is about a person who works in a dead-end job in a mail office, til one day he receives a letter from the father he never met. When he meets him, he's unsure whether he's really the person he says he is. The art style, similar to Kick-Ass, relies on blocks of colour or tone rather than outlines. This gives a stylised but naturalistic appearance.
