'Indestructible Volume 1' tells the story of a guy in a world full of superheroes who is accidentally mistaken for one. It's a comedy of mistaken identity and hero fantasy that isn't too bad.
Greg Pincus is a loser in just about everyone's eyes. His family seems to ignore him. When he leaves dinner for a date with a mysterious and sexy woman, the night ends with her having his car keys and Greg getting shut out. He goes home only to find out his roommate has an errand for him. During the errand, he finds himself in the middle of a crime in progress and emerging as a new superhero. The problem is he's not. Everyone around him looks at him differently. He tries to come clean but no one will let him. Meanwhile, a gang of criminals is planning a heist. Will Greg's new fame get him killed?
It plays like the kind of comedies that appeal to much younger folks than I am. I found it funny, but not as funny as it could have been. Greg's roommate was truly annoying, and I really have no idea why or how he got the date with Stingray. It's not bad, and I'd like to see how long they can string it along with everyone thinking Greg is a hero. The art by Javi Garron is a bit caricatured, but that fits the sort of loopy story going on. I liked it, but I didn't really love it.
