To sum up: David Schumacher wakes up one morning and decides to change his name to Blue Avenger, the name of the comic book character he has sketched ever since his father died. Obsessed with the question of free will versus fate, Blue has a string of heroic victories and also falls in love with a girl named Omaha Nebraska Brown. Together, they ponder all sorts of philosophical ideas and have a really cute teen-love thing :)
The book is hilarious, but also touching. Blue's "very first four-panel strip dealt with the problem of death. He drew The Blue Avenger cornering Death Incarnate, a menacing figure in a black cape with huge, clawlike tentacles. In the last panel, The Blue Avenger has fearlessly ripped off Death's black cape, revealing underneath a sniveling little coward begging for mercy in his filthy underware."
So yeah. Basically, I love this book, I've read it three times, it'll take you five seconds to read, and will fill you with laughter! So read it :)
