Krakaboom

Bursting onto the scene in 2009 courtesy of the legendary Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson, Krakaboom is one of the vivid inhabitants of the richly imagined Astro City universe — a Modern Age creation that fits right into that world's tapestry of heroes, legends, and moral complexity. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a rare and intriguing figure, glimpsed in the company of storied characters like The Silver Agent and Greymalkin across the acclaimed Dark Age saga and its collected editions. For devoted Astro City enthusiasts and completionists alike, Krakaboom represents exactly the kind of colorful discovery that makes digging deep into Busiek and Anderson's corner of the DC universe so rewarding.
