G-Man and Great Man have been missing for months, and the whole city is wondering what happened to them. But when the G-Brothers return to a world of giant robots and demon hunters, they barely have a chance to catch their breath before the real danger begins! The Suntrooper Space Force is called into action, the Thunderfriends assemble, and the Color Guardians unite as G-Man and Great Man face their biggest threat yet!
The G-Man series is fast-supplanting Zita the Spacegirl as my favorite middle grade comic. The second and third volumes (basically one large arc) do such a tremendous job of fleshing out the worldbuilding away from something silly and into something a little more substantive that it becomes difficult to ignore both the nod to existing superheroes as well as the winks to older audiences with some of the jokes and references.
I'm glad this is something I'll be able to share with my son soon enough. Now, if the author would only stop using the word "suck" so much in these books already...
I like this series so very much. It's an excellent balance of superhero comic, realistic peer and family interactions (great dialogue), humor, and meta-irreverence, all with bold, clear illustrations. Light-hearted and fun without being wacky. A great choice for young readers who want superheroes they can relate to.
G-Man just keeps getting better. There is a reason why G-Man was voted by kids as the winner of the 2014 Kids Read Comics Award for favorite adventure graphic novel. http://comicsaregreat.com/kcrawards_w...
