A look into the life of Wolfspider, the Australian Honor Guard member. When Queenslaw, a cartoon super hero team from Wolfspiders youth, suddenly turns up as real heroes, he has to deal with his origin, his childhood dreams, and deadly danger. Guest art by Australian comics star Gary Chaloner (Jackaroo, Red Kelso, John Law). Plus: a fistful of Australian super-villains, too! Its a whole theme thing!
Astro City #28 is a must read because we get a unique story with another featured character explored in a new light. Any reader should check out the latest issue since most of the issues of Astro City are easy to jump into. You don't need to know the characters backstory or have read previous stories to enjoy it either. Read Full Review
