When MARVEL Just Gets It

I just devoured the most delightfully irreverent MARVEL comic and I'm still grinning from ear to ear. What caught my attention was the teeny-tiny page count – a mere 48 pages. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I guess I got lazy and only gave it a cursory glance before deciding it wasn't worth my time.

The artwork is seriously where this comic shines. If I'd stumbled upon more of Sergio Aragonés' work, I would've snapped it up in a heartbeat. There's something undeniably charming about his style.

With this comic, Aragonés took the MARVEL universe as inspiration, and it shows. His unique flair makes the story feel even more vibrant. It's like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise crowded market.

Now, about the plot. The artist inserts himself into the story, depicting himself frantically drawing comics in a deserted studio with looming deadlines. What comes out is a far cry from traditional MARVEL canon – a whole different product.

It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but it's definitely a quirky, lighthearted tale with a dash of irony. It's the perfect read to unwind after a long day. And don't forget, this one's rated 16+.
