SGT. MIKE BATTLE: THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO! #9
"Improvise, Innovate, use your imagination"
Those
words were spoken by Sgt. Mike Battle to admin assistant John Trojan to inspire
the office worker to fight the terrorists
but they could also apply to the cover to #9. Pearce uses a simple gimmick
that is so effective that it
needs to be seen to be appreciated.
As with
most stories, the second act is where things get worse, and in LAST ADMIN
HERO it does. SMB gets captured, John Trojan
is left for dead and the bad guys are about to blow up Washington.

"As hapless office assistant John Trojan takes on the terrorist of A.C.R.O.N.Y.M
by himself,
we learn the history of the mysterious Admin-X, a veteran warrior sent undercover
into an office many years ago.
This issue combines a thrilling plot, a string of clever parodies and homages,
and great storytelling throughout,
to deliver the best issue of the series so far, as well as a great comic in
its own right."
