The InAction Man IAM

Phillip Donnelly

Inaction Man, a 21’st century Superhero, lives as a bum on the streets of Paris, defending humanity despite itself.

 

Inaction Man, a 21’st century Superhero, lives as a bum on the streets of Paris, defending humanity against the Forces of Evil and the Dark Lords who control them. .He possesses the gift of Sight, allowing him to see things that don’t exist, and superhuman powers of inaction, enabling him to do nothing for a very long time.
Together with his assistant, The Symbol, and the world’s second great superhero, The Illogical Woman, he battles the dark pan-dimensional forces that surround us but go unseen by we mere mortals; lost and ossified as we are, in the fatal fog of routine.

Hi Phillip, A most enjoyable and amusing read. Your anti-hero is addictive from the start. Highly entertaining and well done.
Backed with real pleasure, Barry

Good idea ceverly played out and a subtle exploration of the human equation. The imagery is vivid and the characters very well defined. An absolute riot.

Reminds me very much of "Wizard of the pigeons" by Megan Lindholm.

I think that if you have posted the whole book it is too long for a short story and too short for a book. However, I enjoyed very much what you put up.

Interesting idea, this one - funny, also (um) passive.. why does the Changeling sound like a British bum? I was expecting French, given the locality. The pseudo religious style of IM's announcements (along with thees & thous) is already starting to annoy this reader, sorry! but hey, it's the first chapter. More time to read, later.
