Galaktikon by Brendon Small

5.0

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.
