Ever wondered what it would feel like if you lived
in Metropolis where you get to see Superman fight the
super villain of the day? Or do you know how superhero's
sidekicks gets picked or trained? Or what would a super
powered child born in a superhero family feel when
she can't even play hopscotch with normal kids?
These are some of the questions, Busiek tries to give
light to in this highly criticized series of his.
Busiek admits that he has always loved superhero comics
even though there's already hundreds of superhero comics
being published monthly. Usually, superhero comics
are done to showcase the adventures of the hero or
the villain but fortunately, Busiek decided to show
the superhero aspect of the book, Astro City, from
a different perspective - from the perspective of the
ordinary
people.
If your tired superhero comics or want to introduce
a friend to comics, i suggest you give him/her ANY
of the three Astro City volumes that is available right
now coz i GUARANTEE you that you haven't read anything
like
this.
