Paul Pope is one of the top names in comic books, and with good reason.

His method of working with these influences, and the creations he produces, are entirely unique to Mr. Pope.

His latest comic book, Battling Boy, has received many rave reviews, and it deserves every last one of them. A unique, fresh approach to storytelling is always welcome, and that is exactly what Paul Pope provides here. The title character is not the typical jaded, overwhelmed superhero. Rather, he is saving the day not because people are in danger, but because he is expected to prove his mettle. He is sent from his world into another to protect the city of Acropolis, which is under strong attack by gangs. These gangs are not street gangs; rather, they consist of monsters and demons. Battling Boy is also hampered by his father’s lack of interest in him, and the fact that Battling Boy himself has immense difficulty in keeping his own superpowers under control (he gets them from magical t-shirts).
