Hi everyone! To make this article a bit more interesting, we’re doing a more conversational format. Green text is me, Jade… And Brooklyn is pink! So this is a review of the latest Super-Iago story, in which Super-Iago kidnaps a guy called Jeff. I haven't read Super-Iago in a really long time. This is going to be interesting.
Despite the… interesting use of grammar, this Super-Iago story has suspense and action, from the first of its two pages.
Right off the bat, do we get to know who Jeff is? What's his relationship with Super-Iago?
Actually, Brooklyn, all we really know about Jeff is that he likes to sleep and is a touch overdramatic.
I wasn't asking you.
Oh. Well anywho, the story starts with Super-Iago waking up Jeff and telling him that he stole a car (don’t try this at home (or do, we don't care (Please don’t, I care (Okay, well I don't)))). Personally I found Jeff’s reaction quite reasonable. How about you?
Agreed.
It’s really interesting to see Super-Iago’s character development throughout the installments. He’s gone from a very reactive protagonist to a proactive one with a lot of self esteem. I think this stems from him discovering his hidden power to… what was it? Steal other powers?
Whoah Jade, that's deep. I was gonna say something along the lines of “why the frick is Super-Iago stealing cars?”
That is indeed a good question. Are Super-Iago’s actions justified? We don’t even know why he’s kidnapping Jeff.
Umm, yeah we do. They “gotta go”. Duh.
Right. So, these two do appear to have some prior connection that Jeff doesn’t remember, but Super-Iago does. I predict that this means Jeff will take on a larger role in the series looking forward. Any thoughts, Brooklyn?
Uhhh… I don't know, maybe Jeff’s about to die. That would be fun.
Insightful as always. Wouldn’t that be kind of anticlimactic though?
I disagree. I think it would be very climactic. Is that a word?
Climactic? I think so… Let us know in the comments!
What?
Oh… It’s just an article. Right. Anyways, we’re coming up to one of my favourite Super-Iago-isms:
“HOLY CHICKEN FINGERS!!”
Ohhh boy…
This may be inspired by one of the author, Iago’s favourite childhood activities that he carries with him today, substituting swear words with various types of fried chicken.
Now that I think about it, he does that a lot.
Right? So after this turn of phrase, a chase scene takes place because Super-Iago is a terrible driver.
Of all colours, why did the author choose for the world to go black? Why not pink or yellow?
Aside from the fact that it’s obviously a superior colour (especially for clothing and water bottles (I disagree, but you do you)) I think it represents Super-Iago’s fear at this moment. The police are chasing him and his… former friend? Relative? Who knows?
Eh. Could be his talking dog for all we know.
Exactly! Which is why, because so little is known in these stories, I think the brick wall they crash into represents the stability we all crave in a novel that we can’t find in the Super-Iago stories, which makes them so unique.
Or maybe it's just a wall. But no, that would be insane. Nothing can just exist without some deeper meaning according to English teachers.
RIGHT! I’d also like to talk about Iago’s use of onomatopoeia, if that’s alright with you. It really helps give the story a comic-like feel, despite being structured so differently from the classic superhero tales we’ve seen from professionals.
Onomonowhatnow?
Using fake words to represent sounds, like “Crack…” or “BOOM.”
I didn't ask for an English lesson.
But you – I – You just – Know what? Nevermind. I think we’ve analyzed this story as much as we can. How about you? Anything to add?
4 stars (out of 7 (wh– why…?)). Can’t wait for part two!
Thanks for reading!
They should be thanking us. We wrote this. You're welcome!
BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
