It seems that well-meaning but murderous Paladins are killing every Sidney Poblocki in all the parallel worlds in order to head off a prophecy of universal doom. He\u2019s rescued by Rodeo Hawkins, raffish daughter of the Chaos King, who wields a lasso made of pink bubble gum and heads a motley but capable squad of \u201cfemininjas.\u201d Young Sidney\u2014the very last of the name, still alive and, inexplicably, the only one who\u2019s a boy\u2014is pitched headlong into a struggle to survive. This battle escalates climactically into a desperate, last-ditch effort to save the very multiverse he\u2019s supposedly destined to destroy. As Wookieelike Daughter of Mayhem warrior Bugbear eloquently puts it, \u201cGoowee poo poo.\u201d Making effective use of silent reaction shots in her cleanly drawn panels to heighten the effects of punchlines and dramatic turns, Miles highlights the notably diverse cast, including the two leads (who have brown skin and dark hair), multiverse cognates (who are the same person except that one lives on an Earth where humans have green \u201cphotosynthetic skin\u201d), and a nameless, bodiless consciousness who calls herself \u201cGo.\u201d The fast pace, lively and creative illustrations, and humorous moments will draw readers in.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
