Little Hits
136 pages
A stylish, street-level slice of life about a disaster of a human being who just happens to be an Avenger on his days off.
What it feels like
Reading this feels like hanging out in a gritty but cozy Brooklyn apartment with a lovable disaster of a friend. It strips away the cosmic stakes of traditional superhero narratives to focus on the messy, mundane reality of everyday life—fixing a DVR, surviving a hurricane, or untangling a disastrous romantic entanglement. The pacing is brisk and episodic, driven by snappy, deadpan dialogue and a distinctively stylish, minimalist aesthetic that makes every mundane mishap feel effortlessly cool. Beneath the wry humor and chaotic action sequences lies a surprisingly tender core about found family and defending your neighborhood. It is an absolute delight for anyone who loves street-level stories about deeply flawed, self-sabotaging people who are still, fundamentally, trying to do the right thing.
