Hero Squared #3

Captain Valor feels remorse and attends, albeit from a distant point, the funeral of the man who died of a heart attack in his arms. Milo, his alternate self from the world where there are no super heroes, comes with him and continue to pester his other self. Can Captain Valor resist the urge of strangling Milo, or will the authorities come and arrest Milo for the murder of the man first?
As Milo says it his and Captain Valor’s situation is similar to The Patty Duke Show. “They’re cousins . . . identical cousins.” The brunt of the stories continues to be about the confusion of the two Milos and the plot is going deeper in that direction, with the possible arrest of Milo next issue. Although the jokes and the confusion are funny, there is a feeling that nothing moves forward.
The early pages are pastiches of older comic books with the large colour dots and primary colours. I like how Abraham improves his facial expressions in this issue. Although inspired by Kevin Maguire, he goes the slapstick route by drawing exaggerated faces.
9/10
