Kurt Busiek's Astro City #9

In "My Father's Son," Kurt Busiek crafts a poignant moment in the Astro City saga as the world's heroes unite to repel a sudden alien invasion, marking a turning point in the city's ongoing struggle. With art by Brent E. Anderson, inks by Will Blyberg, and colors by Alex Sinclair, the issue captures both the scale of the crisis and intimate character shifts—especially as the Hanged Man confronts the source of the Shadow Hill murders and Brian Kinney steps into a new chapter. Alex Ross’s striking cover perfectly encapsulates the story’s emotional weight and the gravity of the moment.
