Notes:
(1) Still on my spree-read of Mark Millar books. Though, I may move onto something else after this.
(2) Millar, for the most part, has a reputation for pushing the envelope in terms of violence and bad taste. This, however, seems completely wholesome.
- Additionally, Albuquerque is best known for really brushy, fairly realistic art, whereas this looks petty cartoony.

Notes:
(1) There's a few good twists here, though ultimately not enough to elevate this from being just a solid story.
- I would have liked some evolution of Huck's character. He's exactly the same throughout.
(2) The ending scene's a bit too on-the-nose for any satisfying irony or poetic justice.
- It possibly could have worked if it wasn't hammered home as much as it was.

Notes:
(1) This series goes by really fast. There's very little dialogue, and lot of action shots of Huck just running/leaping from place to place.
(2) A lot of points go to the art. There isn't much to the actual story: people ask Huck to do things, and then he does them.
(3) This isn't as wholesome as I originally thought.
- You get quite adult themes and casual swearing.
