Hitch’s Real Heroes (2014)

Issue #1

Not a bad concept but the parody being so 1 for 1 was a little distracting. The writing is also just overboard compared to the amount of information delivered. Not really invested and I know the characters will be over the top on how annoying they are but I think the concept can lead to a good story.

Issue #2

So…THAT just happened. More enjoyable than the first issue, actually makes me wish it was a bit longer. 

Issue #3

I like how they’re not put together at all on the covers. They’re really thrust into their roles with no poise. I didn’t expect Brainchild to actually work with them and not blatantly double cross them. We hit the low point in the Hero’s Journey, now let’s see how they rise.

Issue #4

The everyone being actors reveal is actually super good, bravo Hitch. For it to be cancelled and end here when developments were just starting to happen is actually brutal. I think the close pastiches of not just heroes we know but the movies of them made for somewhat of a lower ceiling, but we were getting real character moments and emotions that felt real. Sad it had to go out this way.
