What makes it funny?
Andrea’s contract forbids her to ask questions. That is an awkward condition for a new assistant learning how to run an office full of superheroes. The people in suits have their own battles over government money and sponsorship, with ordinary administrative work behind the heroic action.
The comedy at work
Kane treats superheroes as people whose work has to be sold and managed. The office has to win contracts and satisfy a boss while its employees save the world. Andrea’s administrative role gives her a close view of the corporate competition.
Try this if…
Office comedy gets a superhero setting here, with Andrea seeing the business behind the battles. Audiobook listeners in book groups enjoy the ridiculous premise and recommend the series for its humor.
