Nearly Infamous Zango
Comic Summary: by Rob Osborne Lord Alfred Zango, Jr. was once the most feared super villain in Metrotown. He razed entire blocks, crushed super heroes beneath his heel. Now he's just a malcontent couch potato. In bunny slippers and bathrobe, Zango gorges himself on junk food and fumes over the media attention that other super-baddies receive. Too lazy to leave the house, Zango sends a gorilla assassin to eliminate his competition! From the award-winning creator Rob Osborne comes this hilarious and offbeat look at super villainy.

Customer Reviews
I would have never saw this coming if not for this site, so kudos to Heavy Ink for bringing me to this title. Funny concept, great dialogue. This title is staying on my pull list!

Nearly Infamous Zango #1 is a true sit-comic–setup, punchline, and return to status quo. You can’t judge it on the cleverness of its storytelling so much as you can on the quality of its jokes. That said, it’s a funny comic with a smart-ass premise–former supervillain as mildly depressed shut-in, struggling in vain to recapture past glories. Writer and artist Rob Osborne makes a lot out of contrasts between the outlandish realm of comic book supervillainy and the mundane reality of the average couch potato’s existence–the remote needs batteries, these chips are giving Zango indigestion, and there’s a crazed monkey on the loose with a giant claw for a hand. I like the way Osborne uses expressions to punch home the gags, and I like the setup enough that I’m on board for more.
