If comic book superheroes were real, they’d cuss. They’d complain. They’d worry about their weight. If real people had super powers, they might use them to fight crime, but they’d probably use them to spy on naked people first. That’s the idea behind The Superhero Diaries: taking the square peg of comic book logic and fitting it into the round hole of everyday life.
Some of the highlights:
The Diaries: Blog entries written by favorite characters parodying events in recent issues. How does Superman feel about his new JLA teammates - is he glad to have Red Arrow on the team, seeing as how the guy has to be carried everywhere? There’s no doubt Robin is sad about Superboy’s death, but on the other hand, now he gets to make out with the super-hot Wonder Girl, so it’s not all bad…
I, Superhero: What would happen if I had the powers of a popular comic character? Would Bullseye’s powers be useful for anything more than beer pong and pickup basketball at the Y?
Two Heroes in a Jar: Who is better: Iron Man or Steel? I put them in a jar and make them fight, just like I used to do with beetles when I was a kid.
The Superhero Diaries looks at what happens when the heroes take off the cape…and need to have it dry cleaned.
