Man-Man Comics: superheroic satire since 2001!With well over 1300 strips in the archives (plus another 1000 or so from the first version of the strip), Man-Man is hardly a "new" project, but continues to evolve...
Starting from the simple premise of a man who is bitten by a radioactive man and develops the proportionate strength, speed and agility of a man back waaaaaay back in 2000, Man-Man has turned into a long-running satire of superheroes and sitcoms with a cast of dozens. Frankly, I can't believe we've been at it for eight years now.
The second series is composed (for the most part) of 30-strip "Episodes". The last episode focused entirely on two side characters trying to rob a bank, but Episode 46, starting
today, is a good jumping-on point that focuses on the core cast: Man-Man, his reluctant sidekick/housemate Paul, and their terrible butler Frenchy.
On the whole, the series is as much about a writer trying to get a grip on four-panel comedy writing, and an artist developing a style, as it is about an overenthusiastic lunatic. It's not always as funny (or as coherent) that I'd like, but boy howdy, it sure is long.
