Ever wonder what it would be like to work at a resource center for superheroes? Well if you have, all of your questions are about to be answered with Super Human Resources, a comic series by author Ken Marcus and artist Justin Bleep. A four part series from Ape Entertainment, about the Human Resources department of Super Crises International (SCI for short) and their newest employee, Tim from Temps-R-Us. Hilarity and conundrums ensue as Tim tries to learn the ropes of a job that not everyone is fitted for. A cast of oddball characters help (or hinder) Tim as he deals with everyday office work, that is if you're used to working with capes, claws, and radioactive half-lives.
Take Zombor, flesh-eating zombie and SCI's main receptionist or the Wombat, a vigilante that lives in the basement of SCI. Then there's Roger, Tim's boss and SCI's resident homicidal maniac. If you are at all familiar with classic superhero stories, zombies, and the stealth-assassination arts - then you will definitely get a kick at Super Human Resources witty take on the everyday life of these odd individuals. Filled with a lot of comedy and parodies, the employees from SCI never take themselves too seriously, which is one of the things that makes this comic so enjoyable to read.
A four part series, each comic will cost you only $0.99 and while each issue tends to be a little shorter than the average length (around 23-25 pages), the comedic relief is well worth it. The only negatives I have about the series is the spelling and grammar errors that are rampant throughout the first issue but are mostly resolved through the rest of the series. If you are up for a few good laughs, then I'd definitely recommend forking out the 4 bucks to pick up this series. And with this economy, you never know when you might need the experience to work in Human Resources, so this could come in handy. So if you're interested, make sure to see Zombor at the front desk. Just remember, he's on a low human flesh diet, so he might be a bit cranky.
