Liquid

Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson introduced Liquid into the richly layered world of Astro City in 2005, a Modern Age creation born from one of comics' most celebrated humanist superhero universes. With a name that pairs intriguingly with fellow traveler Solid, Liquid inhabits a corner of Astro City where even minor players feel like they have histories worth uncovering — sharing pages with icons like The Silver Agent and Jack-in-the-Box. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, Liquid is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the devoted Astro City reader hunting for every last detail of Busiek's meticulously constructed world.
