If you love superheroes, you NEED this. If you HATE superheroes, this will change your mind.--Mark Millar
A surprisingly deep exploration and commentary on where this medium has been, how it got where it is, and where it can go.
--Mark Waid
Peyer's writing embraces classic superhero storytelling really beautifully while also parodying it and it makes for a hell of a comic book reading experience. Jamal Igle, the artist for the series, flawlessly compliments Peyer's vintage styled writing with his gorgeous artwork that is both extraordinary and classic.-- "Comics The Gathering"
