A major new 4-part epic begins featuring Winged Victory, Samaritan and the Confessor, three of Astro Citys most popular heroes. It begins when a young boy seeks sanctuary and training at Winged Victorys school for battered womenand builds to revelations, accusations and a threat that may spell the end of her heroic career. Plus: Winged Victorys origin is revealed at last.
Unlike the majority of comics out there, Astro City manages to tell stories about characters who are interesting, intelligent, and act and behave like real people. These are stories that matter, that challenge the reader and make you care about what happens next. Read Full Review
Though entirely focused on the purely superhero half of the series, Busiek doesn't lose sight of the humanity which makes the title's spirit. Read Full Review
The focus may be different than the adventures we've gotten so far, but the storytelling is still just as good. Given what we've already seen over six issues I'd expect the role of the battered young boy to play a larger role in the story than we've seen so far, as will The Confessor who makes an appearance in the comic's final panel. Worth a look. Read Full Review
I would suggest to pick this up to see a cast of characters that resemble a certain trinity of heroes finally in a story together and to learn more about Winged Victory. It's a good start to get into the series without having any idea what's going on while at the same time pleases long time fans of the series to finally see some of their favourite characters finally teaming up.

Astro City For The Win. This series is amazing. This issue is a very intriguing start to a four part story arc. Highly recommended.
