The Heroes Discussion Group will meet again in the back of the store on Thursday (note the day) May 13th at 7:00 pm.
In order to wet our whistles for next month’s HeroesCon, we return once-again to the super-hero genre to discuss Astro City: Confession by Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson.

This is the second Astro City trade paperback and it reprints the first multi-issue story-line.
We hope to attract a number of the Astro City faithful as well as some rookies sticking their toes in Busiek and Anderson’s rich trough for the first time.

Suggested topics will include:

* The consistency of having the same creative team on every issue
* How do super-heroes stories create a connection to the audience
* Are the allusions and homage to main stream comic characters consistently successful or do they become a distraction?

And that is just the tip of the iceberg.

For anyone who has not had the chance to read many super-hero comics, Astro City may prove to be a great place to dive in and see what all the fuss is about. Astro City: Confession is a graphic novel created by a writer and artist who really love superheroes. You can feel the affection on every page; in every panel.

Remember: Heroes is offering a special 10% discount on Astro City: Confession; be sure to mention the discount when you are checking out!
This will be big time fun.
See you there!
