Comics Comics #1
In "Real-Life World's Finest," Patton Oswalt spins a witty, grounded meditation on celebrity and heroism as he walks through Hollywood Boulevard, imagining what real-life superheroes might actually be like. When he sees actors in Batman and Superman costumes helping a man who appears to be having a seizure, the line between performance and purpose blurs in a moment both absurd and oddly touching. Illustrated with sharp, expressive detail by Troy Nixey and colored with a cinematic flair by Michelle Madsen, this story captures the surreal energy of Los Angeles with humor and heart.
