Penultiman #1 is an interesting comic with what feels like a new take on the examination of the superhero. It does it as well without taking itself too seriously. The combination of something to say with some humor feels welcome in the space and where the series goes should be interesting. It's definitely a comic to keep an eye on and might be one that gets folks buzzing. Read Full Review

Between this and The Wrong Earth, Tom Peyer is proving AHOY is the place to look for fun, fresh and introspective superhero stories. Penultiman isn't the first indie superhero comic to tackle a superhero with mental health issues, but it is a well-written and drawn character study of a man who is out of his depth emotionally while trying to be the best kind of hero he possibly can.
