It's okay...but the ending narration is a bit sappy.

A kid lives in a home with a monster. The monster is his father...and angry, abusive jerk who controls the family through violence and intimidation. The boy has had enough and makes a wish that his comicbook hero, Azoth the Avenger, comes to protect him.

The idea of this episode isn't bad. But the ending narration is pretty sappy and I can't help but think that this should have been better...and with more of a twist.
