I enjoyed this tale of a down-on-his-luck superhero, Triton, whose wife divorces him after he's caught sending a dick pic to an underage stripper. To top it all off, his arch-nemesis escapes from prison and starts dating his ex while Triton is getting mandatory therapy. While on the therapy planet, he gets kidnapped just as he's made a breakthrough, and will be forced to fight with other combatants in a gladiatorial game against a giant monster. Things just aren't going his way. I liked the story arc, the pace was pretty steady, and the character developed well. The artwork was pretty cool, kinda retro, Heavy Metal in the 80s. Also a "making of" sort of thing at the end, explaining the evolution of the story, from the album to the graphic novel, then the short film. If you're a fan of Brendon Small, you'll dig this. If you like snarky superhero space stories, you'll like it. Good cheesy fun.

Dorfwald seems like he should really get his own spinoff adventure.

This one brings a story/universe which is kind of a parody of itself. Exaggeration, humor and absurdity. Some might enjoy this style of comic, but it wasn’t really for me. Probably more for personal reasons than anything else because it wasn’t bad. (appreciation 2/5. Potential for those who like this 4/5, I go with 3/5.).
