Penultiman seeks a way out of his emotional spiral by reading a self-help book about positivity, then starts acting like a jerk in public. His android understudy, Antepenultiman, ruins Penultiman's secret identity. Plus the usual AHOY extra prose stories and illustrations!
Penultiman #3 forces one to spend a lot of time thinking about one's self and why we are who we are. Is there a fictional version of ourselves out there in cyberspace that is actually better than us? I mean, we all have online personas that we hide behind. What would happen if that idea of you took shape and took over? Would you be able to even compare to that “person?” Would you want to? So much to think about. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a strong comic that has a lot more going for it than the average comic book. Worth a look. Read Full Review
Penultiman #3 is another stellar installment of the series that asks "what if the world's greatest hero didn't feel like he belonged?" There's just the right balance of humor and emotional beats (Penultiman's pained, forced smile being particularly relatable and amusing). As with any AHOY Comic, there's plenty of extras to make the issue even more worth it. Read Full Review
Penultiman #3 is tragically comic in its warmth like a dog curling up next to its owner to die while wearing a birthday hat. Read Full Review
Peyer delivers an entertaining story (as do the writers of the back-up text stories) and the art is a perfect balance of traditional superhero art and slightly wacky comedic funnybooks. Nicely done. Read Full Review
Penultiman's nervous breakdown continues as he desperately tries to latch onto positivity. Something which blows up in his face. Penultiman is consistently entertaining every month and I'm sad we only have two issues left.
