I just had a chance to read this book now in trade format from Image comics written and drawn by Chris Giarrusso. You may also be familiar with Chris from his current run doing Mini-Marvels. G-Man tells the story of a young boy who decides he wants to be a super hero, so he becomes one and we find he lives in the image universe where basically everyone is a super hero. This book is incredibly funny, I found myself literally laughing out loud numerous times. It pokes fun at the state of comics without taking itself too serious. The other nice thing is not only is it funny but it looks to be great for kids too, I know there are a lot of comic book parents out there and this seems like a good book to get your kids into as well. Being from the image universe it also has guest cameos and references to such heroes as Invincible, The Savage Dragon and Skull Theodore Troll. If that’s not enough for you to check it out, I’m including a couple of key lines which were incredibly funny such as “Bah, it’s just another sign of the apocalypse. It’ll clear up.” and “But my duplicate here is from a parallel world. Is he an evil duplicate? No. Then don’t worry about it.”
This is a very funny superhero book and it goes into all of the problems you might face when first becoming a superhero as a kid. I highly recommend picking up this book. It is currently in stores, and if you want more G-Man be sure to check out Chris G’s Website.
