Truth, Justin And The American Way

by Scott Kurtz, Giuseppe Ferrario (Artist), Scott R. Kurtz

It's the complete first season of the greatest show you never saw: the classic tale of guy gets girl, guy finds super-suit, guy gains FBI nemesis, guy loses girl, guy loses car, FBI gets girl... well, you get the idea. You'll think it's the '80s all over again as Justin and his friends fight to kepp his wedding from collapsing while fending off the feds' who want his ultra-powered outfit.

Cute.

That was fun...ridiculous, but fun.

I'm a big fan of the PvP webcomic, so when Scott Kurtz put some copies of this up for sale with the promise of a signature and a doodle inside, I jumped at it.

Being a child of the '80s, I enjoyed the whole throwback feel and the severely ridiculous amount of pop culture references from the Six Million Dollar Man to Intellivision to Say Anything to Family Ties.

Story-wise, the writing's fun, though I didn't have as many of those "oh, man, I have to show this to someone" moments as I do when I'm reading PvP.

Still, to use another 80s reference, it's "Good Stuff, Maynard."

This is an enjoyable book, but it's a little flat. The art and script are fun, bu the characters are pretty two dimensional and the book wants to substitute pop culture references for actual jokes. Not bad, just not anything that really stands out.

It's a three star story wrapped in the 1980's with lots of 80's pop culture refferences and cameos. Lots of fun, well drawn and well written.

I read this as 5 individual comic books (instead of collected in one book).

Deserved to have multiple volumes and an animated show. I just KNOW it would’ve become a cult classic a la Downtown (mtv) or Mission Hill
