MARVEL SUPER HERO SQUAD: HERO UP! #1 is a one-shot — despite that #1 designation — and that’s a good thing. The all-ages comic is nothing more than a collection of the strips appearing online at MarvelKids.com, chronicling the yuk-a-minute exploits of Iron Man, Wolverine, The Falcon, Hulk, Captain America, Thor and more.
The gags are silly and rimshot-ready, aiming so low that I doubt even my children would crack a smile. Example: Dr. Doom asks a car wash employee, “Now, this comes with a free wax job, right?” Another example? Okay! Juggernaut has picnicking villains if anyone’s seen his hat, which they’ve turned into a salad bowl! That’s so funny, I forgot to laugh! —Rod Lott
