Product Review

Things change. Even in Astro City, where ordinary people walk side by side with heroes, villains, monsters and more. And today, longtime heroes Quarrel and Crackerjack face a hard truth: their days in the spotlight may be coming to an end. Acclaimed creators Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross tell a tale of drive, ambition, age defiance and loss, as time takes its toll even on legendary heroes.

In addition, this volume collects the story of Sticks, a talking gorilla from a hidden city, who comes to Astro City seeking one thing and one thing only: to play drums in a band. But it’s not that simple. Life never is. Old glories, new faces—heartbeats in time.
