Synopsis:

David is the owner of the Atomic Laundromat, a laundromat that specializes in dry cleaning for superheroes and supervillains alike. His employees include his robot Bob and psychic Juno. David is also the unlucky child of a family of superpowered beings–namely, he has no powers whatsoever.

After David’s father and famed hero The Messiah is charged with a lawsuit for public indecency (though he never actually meant it), David has to rely on his childhood friend, Angela, who has grown up to become an attorney for superheroes, to clear his case.

Recommended Age Group: 10 and up.

Strengths:

This comic deserves praise for its original premise. It features superheroes, but the content is twisted in such a way that they’re not really the focus of the comic, instead focusing on the side characters that are tangentially related to its world.

Weaknesses:

The pacing for this comic feels rather uneven. Whenever it switches to story mode, it moves at a rather slow place. The transitions between gag-a-day and story is too seamless with this one.

Verdict:

I give this comic a wholehearted recommendation. It has great humor, interesting characters, and a unique spin on the superhero genre that I believe non-fans of superhero comics might find interesting.
