Joshua Dread

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Brandon Dorman. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Joshua's parents are two of the world's most dastardly supervillains. To Joshua, however, they're Mom and Dad. When they're kidnapped, along with a host of other villains, by mysterious "smoke creatures," it's up to Joshua to save the day. Joshua's understated, deadpan narration is quite funny; imaginative details add fun. Occasional black-and-white caricatures enhance the comic-book vibe.
