Product Description: The WASHINGTON POST calls Buzzboy "Part Seinfeld-like humor, part slam-bang superhero action." After a triumphant debut at the 2002 San Diego Comic-Con, Sky Dog Comics presents this newly remastered Buzzboy trade paperback, collecting the original, critically-acclaimed Buzzboy miniseries, with over 20 pages of extra art and features! Buzzboy is a teen sidekick that never grew up, a too-much TV watching, junk food eating super hero-- and earth's only hope? Teamed up with a sarcastic young sorceress, and an ex-mad scientist (who gave up being evil for baking), Buzzboy must battle his Elvis-impersonating ex-mentor Lord Ultra for the fate of the world. Get in on the pop culture loving, upbeat fun of Buzzboy! With a cover by Michael (Powers) Avon Oeming.
Superheroes for people who don't like superheroes--Fun! ^ I've really outgrown most superheroes, but Buzzboy, Becca (a cute, sexy sorceress, and the hilarious, cherry tart making Doc Cyber, are welcome to battle robots, monsters, and Elvis-impersonating baddies in my library any day!
This graphic novel takes every cliche of super people and turns it on it''s ear. the art is clean and crisp, and the writing is witty, heavilly influenced by TV show and movie trivia. the characters, while goofy, also have a lot of heart. I've found thatthis is a comic not just for guys, as the female lead is the brains of the outfit.
I truly enjoyed this book, especially the sketchbook section in the back; it's worth buying the book just to see the "About The Author" section... you'd have to see it to believe it! :)
Buzzboy is awesome--This book is too funny! ^ I picked this up at my local comics shop, and I had to get it here (for the discount) to send to three friends.
Buzzboy is a funny, fun superhero, who watches too much TV and eats too much diner food. he'd rather be hanging out then fighting crime. His girlfriend is a cute little sarcastic sorceress, and I related top her as the only sensible persion inb the book.
There is a moral of doing what's right, while also having some very funny jokes. My two adult friends will love the pop references, and Happy Days jokes, but my nephew will definitely enjoy the fun smashing and cartoony chuckles.
The art is cool and stylized, like the Justice League and Kim Possible cartoons, and there is a very interesting sketch book in the back.
