Big Epsilon is the biggest big town there is. And it
apparently has a huge share of crime and
psuedo-superheroes. The books seem okay. The pacing
is well done and the sense of humor fun, if a little
punny.
The first two books are about a guy named The Spot.
You have one whole book that builds up to meeting him.
In issue number 4, giant robotic eggs attack Big Epsilon.
The military is losing against them horribly. The
bad egg puns abound. And you're introduced to our
hero, The Spot, in his civies. By the end of the
issue, The Spot is in his superhero get up and running
to the rescue.
Next issue you get to see what his "superpower" is,
and it's CHEESY . . . quite literally. He sprays
essentially cheese whiz with great skill and accuracy.
He totally beats and scrambles the bad robotic eggs.
Issue number 6 is the first part of what I assume is a
two part story arc about an elite team of Big Epsilon,
police officers called The Peacekeepers. The
Peacekeepers consist of: a super smart chick, a
mysterious dude, a guy that can change himself into
molecules, a super effective android, and the big
leader guy, who likes pizza for what it's worth.
They're super spiffy and they're in charge of taking
on this new wave of crime that's broken out in the
city. At the end of the book they get to the scene of
a huge jewel heist only to discover the thieves are
gone with the jewels.
Overall, this isn't a bad book. The writing is quirky.
The art is cute and it's getting better. Issue six
with Michael Duron inking his own work and Laura Duron
doing the grayscales is far superior art to the prior
two books. If you're interested in checking it out, go
