Astro City #11
This collection brings together issues from the 2015 Astro City series, focusing on the everyday lives and personal struggles of the city's diverse inhabitants, both heroes and civilians. It explores how ordinary people navigate a world filled with superhuman wonders and dangers, continuing the series' tradition of character-driven storytelling within a superhero setting.
In "The Sorcerer's Assistant," writer Kurt Busiek and artist Brent Eric Anderson bring us to a quiet desert museum run by Ellie and her loyal robot companions. When her nephew Fred arrives unexpectedly, the calm of their isolated life begins to shift—though just how, remains a mystery. The issue’s lush art, with colors by Alex Sinclair and Wendy Broome and lettering by Comicraft’s John Roshell and Jimmy Betancourt, complements a story that feels both whimsical and quietly charged. Alex Ross’s striking cover captures the blend of wonder and unease at the heart of the tale.
