Hero Happy Hour by Dan Taylor and Chris Fason

Hero Happy Hour by Dan Taylor and Chris Fason is a delightfully loopy comic book about an after hours hangout for super heroes (we can’t call them super due to Marvel/DC Trademark issues). Set in a regular bar, the city’s hero’s come in after a hard night crime fighting to commiserate with each other and to drink a few beers before heading home. Is it worth reading?

The Hideout Bar & Grill is owned by Rusty, a retired superhero. All the local heroes stop by for a drink, including Night Ranger (who’s sick of the Sister Christian jokes) and his sidekick Scout, Guardian, Eradicator, Feline, Galaxy Girl, Knightingale and Psiren. We get introduced to our merry band of heroes as they complain about who will get the front page for saving the city, whose arch-enemy is worse (and with bad soliloquies), bad toy deals, bad movie deals and who’s joining what super teams. It’s a silly and funny and wonderfully insane look at the other side of heroes when they let their hair down and relax. Highly recommended.
