Scratch 9 #2 cover
The beautiful thing about a trade paper back (TPB) is that once a series of comics have been collected together, the full scope of what was being created comes into view. When a comic series has been done well, a TPB stands as a pure testament of what a great creator can accomplish. Often, a book that you felt was pretty good becomes incredibly good in this perspective.
Super Human Resources (Not really Calm or Cool Just Collected: Super Human Resources Season One) sits comfortably in the aforementioned category. I had read these comics separately. I thought that they were very good. But recently I was sent the “Collected” edition and suddenly I find myself telling everyone about the book. It’s cohesive and funny and very original and I loved reading it in this singular, tight, all in one, format.
Ken Marcus’s writing for Super Human Resource along with his oddball sense of humor makes this comic a spot on perfect read. I’m so happy that I had a chance to re-read this book! Justin Bleep’s artwork is crazy-fun and the extra’s that are included with the TPB are great. You get a chance to check out Justin’s sketches for the issues along with fan art. Every page of this trade is loaded with inside jokes and fan-boy chuckles. There is way too much to love here and priced at a paltry $12.95, for 128 pages, this is killer deal.
If you love superhero comics than you have to read Super Human Resource.

Who does your favorite Super-dude talk to when he realizes that his computer keyboard is not ergonomically correct? And the biggest question of all is: who does the hiring? Well, the creative team of Justin Bleep (Art), Ken Marcus (writing), and Jacque Nodell (lettering) have decided to answer some of these pressing questions with the new comic “Super Human Resources”.
After reading Super Human Resources we decided that a review of this book just wouldn’t be enough and since they were already answering questions, we thought, maybe they would take a few minutes and answer a few of ours, and guess what? They agreed.
Tell us about “Super Human Resources” and where the original idea came from?
Ken: I think the name just popped in my head. And the first issue kinda just wrote itself. I know there are similar concepts out there. Both The Office and superheroes are popular. It ain’t exactly rocket science to smoosh them together. But I like concentrating on the normal people versus the super heroes. All the people that keep things up and running. I felt like that was a different spin I hadn’t seen. You know Superman doesn’t have time or the inclination to fill out purchase orders for all the crap in the Fortress of Solitude.
