When two superpowered Japanese girls tear up his office building in search of the Chessmaster, Ron’s day goes from bad to worse. He might work in Customer Serivce these days, but before that, Ron was none other than AcroCop, a superhero without superpowers. Will he be able to make sure this day ends without too much casualties or property damage?
As I’ve said before, I usually don’t like prose stories about superheroes and this is a good examply why. There’s just nothing interesting about this story which explores a theme that’s already been thoroughly scrutinized in comic books (man vs superman). It adds nothing new or remarkable to the proceedings and doesn’t take advantage of the fact that it’s a prose story for deeper characterization or style. This would’ve made for a rather lackluster comic book which might’ve been saved by some great art, but as just a collection of words, there’s no such crutch to fall back on here.
