Astro City [Wildstorm]

ASTRO CITY: ASTRA SPECIAL #1-2

Written by Kurt Busiek, art by Brent Anderson, covers by Alex Ross.

It's a big turning point for Astra Furst, the third-generation Super Hero of Astro City! Last readers saw her, she was a 10-year-old girl playing hopscotch. Today she's graduating from college. It's a time of friends and family, new opportunities, new dangers, and changing relationships. Featuring the First Family, the creatures of Monstro City, a new hero team and more in a graduation night nobody's ever going to forget!

And in issue #2, while most people celebrate their college graduation by going to dinner, Astra and her boyfriend celebrate hers with a trip into The Gordian Knot, a cosmic caldera teeming with strange life and unusual encounters. It was meant to be a party, but for Astra, who has lived her whole life in the glare of the spotlight dealing with the bizarre and unexpected, it becomes much, much more!

Je n'ai pas aimé la dernière trilogie sur astro city (dark age), par contre je trouve que les numéros spéciaux sont toujours de meilleure qualité et me rappelle les débuts de la série, j'espère que ça sera encore le cas avec ceux-ci.

Astro city devrait revenir en série régulière en 2010
