In a world jam-packed with countless iterations of bat-men, super-men and wonder-women sometimes it pays to be “not so super.” In fact, creator and author Jacques Nyemb is counting on it. Nyemb launched his own indie publishing imprint, Not So Super Comics, last Summer with the titles that focus less on spandex and capes and more on what really matters: great stories. Titles released so far include Not So Super, focusing on an african american protagonist who receives a random assortment of odd (and often useless) superpowers; This Bites, a vegan turned vampire horror-comedy; and Smörgåsbord Squad, an all-ages adventure starring a team of food-costumed “homespun” heroes.
While Nyemb and his team initially offered up each title via digital download, they’re now looking to take their vision to print with first issue runs of all three titles. So, they’ve taken to Kickstarter asking for help from fans and with only 2 days left they’re already well on their way to achieving their goal, but they could still use one final wave of support. If you find yourself looking for a reprieve from the mainstream grind of mega-super-crisis-identity-sinful crossovers and just want a good story to read, definitely check these guys out.
