| rdfs:comment | - Super Stupor is a 2008 Web Comic written and drawn by Randy Milholland of Something Positive fame. It's about super heroes and villains. They don't stop or cause crime, at least during their screen time. This is a Soap Opera, not an adventure. The story is widely spread because there are Loads and Loads of Characters. At some point in the past there was a Cosmic Cataclysm, which merged two realities and started a few of the storylines. Some of their stories are serious, some not. It's dark enough to be interesting and funny enough to avoid Narm. It's pretty damn good.
- It's about heroes and villains in their everyday lives. Really, that's it. Super Stupor was first posted in 2007 and updated occasionally, on an "As Randy Feels Like It" basis. The comic maintains its own continuity, and ever so often is collected and published (with original material and art) as a hardcopy issue. As of January 2011, three issues (and several reprints with revised art) have been printed and sold.

The comic maintains its own continuity, and ever so often is collected and published (with original material and art) as a hardcopy issue. As of January 2011, three issues (and several reprints with revised art) have been printed and sold. The writing owes much to the more mature comic work of creators such as Kurt Busiek, Alan Moore, and Denny O'Neil, focusing on the human trials and foibles of the costumed communities, as well as the consequences of those decisions. This doesn't stop Milholland from pursuing slapstick or trope-awareness humor, as most everyone appears to be aware of (and sometimes sick of) the conventions of comic books. Starting with the third issue, Milholland has worked in references to more classic comic styles, such as the horror hosts of E.C. and Warren Publishing.
