About the series
Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson’s Astro City moved to DC in 2005, continuing their acclaimed series of standalone stories set in a superhero metropolis where the extraordinary feels personal. This ongoing anthology explores the lives of heroes, villains, and everyday people with a warm, humanistic touch, making its fictional city feel as real as any in comics. The series matters for its thoughtful, character-driven approach to the genre, treating superpowers as a lens for examining ordinary life rather than just spectacle.
