So that was Hero oh Hero. It was……interesting.
The 8bit designs took a while to get use too. I actually don’t think I am a fan of the art style because I found myself looking more at the speech bubbles and words than the actual characters and panels.
Story wise, they have some decent punchlines and jokes. A slow start to the plot, but it’s a comic. Things need to take time to set up the world and interest.
Gramps is crazy, so I like him. Even if he looks like his eyes are eventually going to migrate to the side of his face.
The bandit leader targeting the Aristocrat, and only him for their profit is pretty admirable.
Who the hell sends out letters to everyone, why Rich Boy be Dumb?
But at about 21 panels, we finally get our hint to who is the man to fall from the sky. It could be the newest ally the Aristocrat (we don’t know anyone’s name in this), or maybe the Aristocrat himself. He could find the floating platform thing, and then fall off of it. Victory solved.
Oh my Fibonacci Scale of 1 to 21: I give this a 5. Jokes are fine. They do a good job, but there isn’t anything really new to pull me in. Plus the 8bit style is really not my thing. Sometimes it feels like I am looking at the individual colored blocks than the picture as a whole. The only thing it has for me to maybe continue it is The Old Crazy Grandpa, and the Falling Sky Man. But even then, there isn’t much of a dire need to find out why just yet.
It was an interesting read, but I’m probably going to pass for now.
