Book Paul Jenkins Sidekick Volume 1 summary
READ ISSUE 1 ONLY I got the 1st issue for 50 cents in a bargain bin Every character is unlikeable I will be using this issue as a makeshift dust pan as I clean my room Paul Jenkins I hold Paul Jenkins in high regard from his Hellblazer run and was curious to see what he did 10 years later Turns out Sidekick is nothing like his occult horror work it s a cheerful satire on the superheroes genre In this world all of the superheroes are morons and the protagonist is forced to work for four of them though it was mainly his idea to get money Tone wise I d compare it to early Chew books and Chris Moreno s art adds a lot to that feeling Paul Jenkins I used to hold Paul Jenkins in high regard for Inhumans The Sentry Mythos Revelations Hellblazer etc And then I read X Men Origins and Wolverine The End This is of the latter Paul Jenkins Cute Wasn t quite as laugh out loud funny as I was expecting Unfortunately the main character is a tad unlikable I was kind of rooting for him because that s sort of the point of the story but it was a halfhearted effort At first I found the lack of sympathetic female characters kind of annoying But then I realized all the characters are kind of annoying Everyone s pretty much a caricature I get the funny and all but at this length you really want a least a hint of three dimensionality Everyone s a cartoon because that s what makes the jokes work but by the end I was sick of the lot of them This probably would have been fun at shorter length Paul Jenkins This book kind of ran too long on one joke I made me sad Paul Jenkins
