About this ebook
"Canon City was burning.
Perhaps he shouldn’t have set it on fire."
A concise, single story of heroism and stupidity.
John Smith, an alien from another planet, landed in Canon City and immediately realised he was a superhero. He is The Common Man, tolerated by the citizens and mocked by the villains.
In five tight chapters, he leaps tall buildings, saves an out of control bus, and destroys a house with an unfortunate bodily excretion.

This is a comic book. The story is short, but funny and satisfying. It's a nice superman parody who's plot comes from a pun at the end of the story. The title, cover, and section that it is sold in is misleading, though. While this is a comic book, ie a book that is funny, it is not a comicbook/graphic novel that you may be expecting. A worthwhile read.

Quick to read which was nice. The style of humor gets a little worn out at times but it was worth reading and I got a few good chuckles out of it. Plot was mostly interesting.
