About the series
In Astro City Metrobook (2022–present, Image), a new collection of stories from the acclaimed superhero universe created by writer Kurt Busiek and artist Alex Ross returns readers to a city where caped champions and everyday people coexist. Spanning six issues, this series spotlights the lives of lesser-known heroes like Jack-in-the-Box, the mystical Cleopatra, and the vigilante Confessor, alongside the city's brilliant architect Augustus Furst. Alex Ross's painted covers and interior art lend a photorealistic grandeur to these intimate, character-driven tales that explore the human side of superhuman lives. A cornerstone of modern superhero storytelling, Astro City remains essential for its thoughtful, grounded take on the genre.
