I’ve only read one G Man comic in the past, so checking out the first trade paperback would be a good way to truly check out the series. While the comic mixes comedy with action, it does a much better job than Tiny Titans and even the Incredibles. The comic is definitely a blast to read and the cast is already pretty solid.

The plot begins with Mikey learning how to fly. It’s a tough job, but in the end he finds his magical cape and learns that flying’s a piece of cake. His brother Dave manages to get a piece of the cape and turns it into a belt. Both of them can fly and they get stronger after each battle. The magical cape builds up an immunity so that no attack will work on them twice. It’s definitely a pretty handy tool to have, but they haven’t gotten into many fights yet. The ploy changes a little as they get to meet alternate versions of themselves and the fate of many universes hang in the balance. It was all very climatic, but the ending may surprise some readers.

G Man (Mikey’s new superhero name) is a pretty solid protagonist and he’s not afraid to stand up for what’s right. Once he’s got an idea, he always makes sure to stand by it. He’s currently the best character of the series and he even switched his costume at one point. (Superboy Prime style!)

Great Man (Dave’s new name) is also pretty solid and he’s the 2nd best character in the comic. He’s quicker to fight and he’s not as lenient as G Man. So when Kid Thunder attacked him, Great Man just took him down. He doesn’t let any character mess with him and he’s also pretty tricky.

G Man has some friends like Billy Demon and Sparky. Sparky’s pretty fast, but he hasn’t gotten that much screentime yet so it’s a little early to judge him. Billy Demon is also an average character and I wouldn’t say that I’m a fan. Mr. G is one of the better characters in this comic and he makes sure that everyone stays off of his lawn. Thunderman is one of the big heroes of the city, but I can’t say that I’m impressed. I’ll be waiting for him to take on some opponents at some point.

This comic was definitely a nice start to the series and it may be just the beginning! This comic series could grow up to be one of the bigger ones. I’ll be looking forward to seeing what they do in the next graphic novel. Naturally I recommend this comic to all comic fans, or just anyone who likes to read a fun comic once in a while.

Overall 7/10
