5.0 out of 5 starsWelcome back to Astro City
By Stephen Vincent Kempton TOP 1000 REVIEWER on December 7, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Any trip to Kurt Busiek's Astro City is worth the admission. For any readers new to the series , Astro City is a longing running series set in the same universe. Astro City started in 1995 and this is the twelfth collection. Since it is a shared Universe you can really start anywhere .

The series grew out of Kurt Busiek's Marvels. The idea of very gritty real heroes existing in our world. His Marvels partner Alex Ross paints all the beautiful covers. They are all included here. While Brent Anderson handles the gorgeous interior art work. All three of these talents have not lost a step.

This volume collects two recent stories from the most recent series. A four part story focusing on Quarrel and her crime fighting partner Crackerjack. And a two part story about Sticks the Super Strong Talking Ape.

The Quarrel story is a touching story about Retirement. Quarrel is a late middle aged Super Heroine with no natural enhanced ability. She had spent a lifetime trying to redeem herself for her father's criminal past. She has pushed herself hard and not allowed for much happiness. Now what will she do when Time has taken it's toll.

Having myself just recently retired , I found the themes presented here to be timeless and poignant.

In the smaller story we meet Sticks, a talking ape who just came to Astro City to play the drums. Unfortunately both the Super-heroes and the Super-villains have other plans for him. He dabbles in crime fighting but misses his drum kit.

I have been long hoping for an Omnibus series of Astro City stories but given up hope and decided to enjoy what we have. So start here or anywhere and enjoy this masterful creation. It is still excellent and doesn't get near the accolades it should.

Highly Recommended.

Busier continues to carve out and build his superhero history. What is special about Astro City is the creators ability to build a world while still telling compelling character stories. On top of that the individual stories fit into the rich fictional timeline with both doing service to the other.
