Review: Superbia #4

So here we come to the end of the mini-series or the first act if you will.  This issue was perfect in that it solved some issues, created more and continually evolved the characters and their situations.  This book was intended to be about those, spouses, girlfriends, boyfriends and children of super-heroes and while they take center stage.  Grace has managed to make this “Housewives of the Super-Heroes” every bit as charming, gossipy, dramatic and downright addictive as any of the shows it seems to be modeled after.  Russell’s art just makes the book that much more perfect too.

Review: Superbia #1

Boom! Really cranks out a brilliant, emotionally-wrangling book that unravels as simply…WHAT IF DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES WERE SUPERHEROES? The entire cast…not just the women. Despite a bland ending (not too drab but one I saw coming a million miles away), Grace Randolph scripts a tale chock-full of webs of deceit with capes on top capes…behind sometimes…literally. It’s a smorgasbord of drama. You feel tension creeping off every page as Dauterman’s art is kooky and quirky enough to translate this issue as the funny calm before the impending storm.
