The Actual Roger is a tale about, well, a boy named Roger. A meteorite lands in his back yard which leads to roger and his best friend, Clay, to be exposed to whatever cosmic radiation the rock contained. The following day, roger and Clay wake up to find they each have a new power! Roger can fly (about a foot and a half) off the ground, and Clay becomes…clay. The Actual Roger is set in a universe in which super heroes are well-known and there’s a government agency set up for training and controlling them. Once this agency gets word of Roger flying around town without registering with them, they take it upon themselves to pair him up with the best hero they have, Magnanimo who doesn’t seem excited to have him around. Can things get any worse? Why not.
This comic is hilarious and well written with a fresh spin on the superhero genre. Hank tucker has produced a great story, and even though I’m not a big fan of the black and white style, I really think it works for the actual roger although it seems lacking in some areas.
Hank tucker has done a wonderful job juggling all the aspects of the story whether writing, art , ink or pencils. The lettering seems to need work but this issue is a job well done.
The actual roger is brilliantly done and is guaranteed to make you chuckle and reach for the next issue.
