review 1: Ok, so I have been singing praises for Astro City. I have read four Astro City trades at this point, and this one is by far the most incredible! This book does such an incredible job of showing the bitterness and the resentment that normal folks would experience, while suffering through all of the Cosmic Crisis and Internal Fighting that comes along with superheroes. The two brothers at the center of this story are so compelling, and easy to relate to, you are there with them for every negative event that is both a Dark Age in American History and a Dark Age for the super powered beings of Astro City. Unfortunately, this is only Book one of a two book epic. I need part two, right now!
review 2: Takes place in a superhero world similar to the DC and Marvel unive
... morerses, but from the point of view of two normal people. The story is really good, and it gives you a whole new perspective on a world filled with superheroes. Astro City is a lot better than much of what DC and Marvel have been putting out lately. It would be a good read for both superhero fans and people who aren't really into mainstream superhero comics. less

Excellent. It's been a long time since I visited Astro City, but it was worth the wait.
