Book of Doom: Astro City #1


It’s Wednesday, and we all know what that means. So, while you’re at your local comic shop, picking up the latest and greatest today, do yourself a favor and pick up “Astro City: The Dark Age Book 2 #1,” the first issue in the second story-arc of this Wildstorm property. Then, come back here on Saturday, and join myself, along with the rest of the Legion of Doom, in talking about what we all thought of it. If you actually do that, it’ll be a first. Here’s the run-down:

The acclaimed ASTRO CITY returns with “Eyes of a Killer,” the second story arc in the 16-issue DARK AGE epic by Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson and Alex Ross! The mean streets of Astro City in the 1970s are getting meaner, and Charles and Royal Williams are drawn deeper into the darkness. Against the background of Astro City’s most turbulent decade, featuring the Street Angel, Black Velvet, The Apollo 11, Jack-In-the-Box and more, one brother is targeted for death — while the other makes a discovery that could change their lives forever.
