Angelman: Fallen Angel

Created by Korporate Comics in a flash of money-grubbing cynicism appallingeven by their standards, Angelman's powers (which include empathy and theability to be a good listener) prove less than adequate to deal with thesinister threat of the insane plastic-surgeon villain Gender Bender -- orfor that matter with the fickleness of fashion, the rapacious super-heroine LadyDentata, the increasingly desperate re-boot attempts by Korporate Comics, hisoddly twin-like wife, a disastrously bad movie adaptation that single-handedlybrings the vogue for super-hero movies to a screeching halt... all delineated inAustrian cartoonist Nicolas Mahler's trademarked ultra-minimalism (albeitthis time in spectacular color), and with his drier-than-dry wit.
