With veteran superhero Captain Amazing holding auditions for a new sidekick, his pets--a dog, hamster, and chameleon--hope to win the role. They train seriously but get into trouble fighting crime. Meanwhile, Captain Amazing's nemesis has stolen a belt that jeopardizes the entire city. Santat's genre-mash-up graphic novel features appealing, cartoonish art with bold geometric shapes and bright primary colors.
