"Who?"

Part of the early 2000's wave of media that asked "What if super-heroes, but realistic and grounded in the actual world of waiting on hold while trying to talk to customer service?" Unlike some of the other entries in the genre (Venture Brothers, Invincible, The Boys), this is less crass, less zany, less cynical, and more melancholic, more introspective. There's still comedy, there's still some surprisingly well crafted fight scenes, but the overall tone of the story is one of reflection and memory, as these oddities of nature look backwards in the Autumn years of their lives. Not a great book, not a spectacular book, but a quietly enjoyable book about the bits of life in between the giant robots and the laser battles.
