Nuklear Age
Well, anyway, there's a robot, a giant monster, a line of evil toys, a mind control plot, sub-orbital death beams, kidnappers, bad movies, a super powered gang, an usurper, and a maniacal villain hell-bent on world domination.
Not all at once, though. I mean, really, could you imagine coordinating the fight scene? Or reading it? You'd have to take notes just to keep track of who hit what and why.
If you are wondering whether or not you should read this book, ask answer this one question:"Do you like clever stories with the bonus of superheros?"If the answer is "Yes" or a "kinda" or even a "sure, but I'm not sure about the superheros part". Do yourself a favor and read this book. Seriously. It's that good.
6 parts juvenile (but entertaining) comedy writing about superheros,2 parts surprisingly good writing and characterization,1 part tasteless and borderline offensive humor,1 part wonderful, heartbreaking conclusion that makes the entire 400+ pages worth reading over and over.
I love 8-bit theater. It's one of the funniest webcomics I've come across, with enjoyably stereotypical charaters and plenty of laughs.When I found out Clevinger had a novel, I promptly decided to buy it. I thought, since his webcomic is so great, his novel is probably great, too.Nuklear Age is not a great novel. In fact, it probably would have made a better webcomic that a book. You see, so many things that make Clevinger's webcomic great make his book... unsatisfying. One-dimensional
This wasn't a great book but then the ending came and it hurt me.And then the sequel's never to be lost chapter came and it hurt me more.So I'll give it 4 stars, what the hell
fantasticly funny, wonderfully odd
Love. This. Book.

It needs 8bit illustrations =(This is one helluva hilarious book. It's like the 8bit Theatre comic strip, but unillustrated and slightly more literate. Oh, and I guess it has characters? And drama or something. Whatever. I'm here for the hilarity, like when 50% of the people on the planet died instantly and for no reason!Good times...If you are wondering whether or not you should read this book, ask answer this one question:"Do you like clever stories with the bonus of superheros?"If the answer is "Yes" or a "kinda" or even a "sure, but I'm not sure about the superheros part".
