There's a contract out on The Taskmaster, and no shortage of villains willing to fulfill it. But what'll kill him first -- the bad guys, or his latest class of recruits? Welcome Annex, Prodigy, Gorilla Girl, Sunstreak and Batwing to the Initiative. But are they -- is anyone -- ready for the coming of...Butterball?
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
Underdog stories are great. Sure this particular device is used far too often and unsually to sub-par results. But not in this case. Meet Boulder... or should I say Butterball. He's a kid with invulnarability powers who wants desperately to be useful to the Initiative. He's also overweight, unathletic and, quite frankly not too bright. He frustrates his drill seargeants, annoys his fellow recruits and insults his commanding officers. But you still end up pulling for him to succeed. And that's really the point of any underdog story, right?
