As such, despite employing the standard tropes liberally, it still provides a fresh take on the world of the standard superheroic stories, showing us some typically ignored aspects of the everyday lives of both the superheroes themselves and the innocent bystanders around them. A truly well-meaning, self-sacrificing Superman would surely feel guilt for all the people he didn't save because of time spent asleep at night, and that's the basic premise of the opening story in this book, along with the consequences of that guilt for his personal life. It's almost required reading for anyone who cares about the genre's logical consequences for its inhabitants and exemplars. This was so much more then a super hero graphic novel. This tells the story of Astro City by following some very different residents through their everyday life. All of the stories are interesting and reveal something not only about the city but the characters who people the stories as well. The art style was also gorgeous, capturing a retro/future feel that can usually only be seen in pieces written in the past that believed we would all be driving flying cars by now. I can't wait to see where this series goes. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
