Astro City #15
This volume collects issues #1-6 of the 2017 Astro City series, focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary people in a world of superheroes. Kurt Busiek's writing and Brent Anderson's art continue to explore the human side of superhuman existence, with stories that delve into the personal struggles and triumphs of those who live in the shadow of capes and costumes.
In "What I Did on My Vacation...", Kurt Busiek crafts a quietly poignant tale of isolation and choice, spotlighting the unlikely introspection of villain Mister Manta stranded on a deserted island. With Matthew Clark’s expressive art and Sean Parsons’ sharp inks, the story finds unexpected depth in a man confronting his own solitude—only to face a moment that might change everything. Alex Ross delivers a striking cover that captures the island’s eerie beauty and the weight of a decision still to come.
