あらすじ
"Great read, beautifully illustrated" - Joe Brumm, creator of Bluey "Wonderfully funny, completely bonkers" -Jessica Dettmann, author of There's No Such Book. The O.D.D. Squad are here for another epic (or maybe just epically silly) ADVENTURE! Quack Attack, Detective Octopus and Invisidog have a new recruit: Hyperkitty. She’s cute! She’s unbelievably fast! She also . . . spends a lot of time on her phone? And actually, isn’t very good at being part of a team. Or catching bad guys. It’s almost like she doesn’t want to be part of the world’s best (kind of) superhero team. Everyone needs time to learn to be a superhero, but disasters keep striking. After a particularly wonky incident involving a pig in a hat at a power station (don't ask, OK?), Justice City decides it’s had enough: no more O.D.D. Squad! Can the gang save the day – and themselves – before it’s too late?
作品考察・見どころ
本作の真の魅力は、完璧さから最も遠いヒーローたちの人間臭い連帯にあります。スチュアート・ヘリテージが描くのは、輝かしい超人ではなく、スマホを手放せないハイパーキティのように、現代的な欠点を抱えた愛すべきはみ出し者たちです。この不完全さが、読者に自己肯定の勇気を与えます。 ドタバタ劇の裏には、個の自由と調和という葛藤が息づいています。社会の枠に抗い、自分たちの居場所を守る彼らは、ナンセンスを越えた気高さを放っています。ユーモアとカオスのなかに、誰もが輝ける可能性を情熱的に示す真の傑作です。
