Review :
“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
“ I haven't
felt this excited about a new series in a long
time.”
- READING WITH A FLIGHT RING
Wildly entertaining"
- 13TH DIMENSION
"Delightful.”
― CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
“Peyer
and Igle knock this one out of the park.” -
ADVENTURES IN POOR TASTE
“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.”
