A review by vernip
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, Vol. 10, by Hideyuki Furuhashi
4.0
TV Tropes defines the word Expy as "short for 'exported character.' A character from one series who is unambiguously and deliberately based on a character in another, older series. A few minor traits, such as age or hair color, may change, but there's no doubt that they are almost one and the same."
Instead of reviews, I'll just keep a running tally of Expies per volume. Enjoy!
- fat! Robin (I wanna say it looks a little more like the Tim Drake version of the Robin suit, but could also be Young Justice toon's Dick Grayson Robin suit, which is fitting since Rock essentially takes out that Robin to be a knockoff Nightwing)
sidenote about the plot: one of my most despised tropes of superhero comics is good-girl-hero-goes-bad-gets-sexy-more-mature-black-outfit. This is no exception; however, thematically it's greatness since the Crawler finally has to fight somebody he has personal ties with, even moreso since possible romance. Also, oh HELL NAW they pulled a La La Land on us & did a "what if...we were happy together?" NOT COOL!
...
Despite all this suffering, I still rank it pretty darn good. Cuz it was!
