Huck (utgåvan 2016)

Perfectly entertaining standalone story from the Millar-verse. I knew nothing about this going in and it hit all the right beats in all the right places. I didn’t quite buy the meanness of the artificial intelligence robots, but Huck was such a delightful presence that it didn’t matter too much. Pleased to have picked this up. ( )

I like the main character, his daily good deeds and his mother. But the plot is just a far-fetched and sloppy serving of cheese. This book falls well short of its potential. ( )

slightly superficial and cheesy but such a whimsically, fun ride that I didn't care ( )

You've definitely read this story before (it's basically a slightly simple-minded Superman who only wants to do good deeds and the town that is trying to protect him and keep him secret - even tho you know it's never that simple), but there is a definite level of heart and soul in this story that makes it stand on its own. Albuquerque's art fits the retro feel of the book perfectly. Will be checking out future volumes for sure. ( )
