Astro City #12
This volume collects issues #7–12 of the 2016 Astro City series, focusing on the personal and romantic entanglements of the city's heroes and civilians. Kurt Busiek's writing and Brent Anderson's art explore the complexities of love and conflict against the backdrop of a superhero metropolis.
In "The Dimming of the Day," Kurt Busiek crafts a poignant tale of identity and connection as Quarrel grapples with the tension between a quiet, ordinary life with MPH and the pull of his past with Crackerjack. With Brent Eric Anderson’s expressive art and Alex Sinclair’s subtle coloring, the emotional weight of choices and legacy unfolds in a story that lingers long after the final page. The cover by Alex Ross captures the moment’s quiet intensity with his signature realism.
