Everything Is Super

In Everything Is Super (2021–present, Birdcage Bottom Books), writer-artist Ben Passmore offers a single-issue comic that deconstructs the superhero genre through a raw, personal lens. The story follows a Black, queer protagonist navigating the mundane frustrations of daily life while grappling with the absurdity of superpowers in a world that feels anything but heroic. Passmore’s signature blend of sharp humor, social commentary, and expressive, gritty artwork makes this a standout indie meditation on power, identity, and the compromises of survival. It matters as a concise, unflinching take on what it means to be extraordinary in a system that often feels broken.
