Best Webcomic Of The Week?
As far as I'm concerned, this one goes to Brad Guigar, who had maybe his best week to date.
Guigar's gentle, humorous take on super-heroes actually underscores their moral ambiguities better than the angst-heavy, oh-so-serious approach that's become the industry standard. The Legion of Justice, a superhero group, has bought out Evil Inc., a supervillain company, and appointed their own Captain Hero as CEO. Hero moonlights as supervillain Dark Hood to meet the demands of his dual roles. Mr. Invincible, leader of the Legion of Justice, demands profits while squandering his own resources on trophy girlfriends, but still believes himself Hero's moral superior.
Guigar followed last week's explosion with a meaty confrontation between Hero and Invincible. With two final words, Captain Hero commits to a startling change in his life, a change Guigar has been quietly setting up all year.
I'll take Guigar's brand of existential superhero over Civil War or Countdown any day.
