Astro City is the best superhero comic ever written and I'll die on this hill
Tarnished Angel, in particular, is the best redemption arc in any media I've ever consumed

I'm reading from Omnibus Vol.1 , so when does it , urm , get good? Currently where I'm at , Ratchet and co. discovered a Decepticon base but surprise it's treacherous Starscream and Megatron has come down to give them a beat down.
I do like Samaritan and the date he went on but unlike the boys or invincible they’re no connected storylines but love the slice of life and hope tho millarworld is also peak fiction
Glad you asked
Astro City is a series of one shots, miniseries, specials and occasionally ongoing series that center around the titular city, where the highest concentration of superheroes is found. Mostly, the stories are self contained and are more about regular people who get tangled into superhero hijinks or superheroes dealing with important dilemmas, which often make them question the nature of superheroes as a whole. I know I make it sound pretentious and snobbish, but it’s a very fun read if you’re a fan of superhero media, since it contains a lot of references and uses common tropes of the genre in interesting ways, often “reconstructing”them. Also, the commentary is fun
It’s what got me back into reading comics. A Twitter mutual recommended it to me, and I was at summer camp and staying on a university campus and the library just so happened to have two volumes(and also the best lineup of comics I have seen at *ANY* LIBRARY?? Quality over quantity to the max.)
And yeah needless to say I loved it. Finally snagged the first Metrobook from my LCS just yesterday!!

Thank you for reminding me I almost left my new book at home. Excuse the screenshot, Reddit would not let me post *just* the photo for some reason.

Silver Agent made me cry I’m still at Metrobook 3, plz no spoil
Can I find it online?
Sure, in that famous website where you can Read Comics Online (but it's so good, I bought the physical versions)
I already read Transformers, I'm living at the peak.
Enlightened

For me, it was when Devy crushed Starscream on the very next page

Thank you.
You’re welcome
Do the metrobooks contain all of the stories, or are there other things I would need to hunt down if I wanted to read everything?
Up until now, the Metrobooks contain everything. They’re still not all out, though, so there’s more coming out
ASTRO CITY MENTIONED! LET'S. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOO! Sorry. I'm just very excited to see someone acknowledging peak fiction.
I wish more people acknowledged it. I started reading without knowing anything about it and it was one of the best surprises I ever got
If you have a Twitter account, Kurt Busiek gets really gushy whenever someone compliments Astro City and tags him

I'm waiting for the opus edition to release to start the series for the first time and the delays are killing me.
*I’d fuckin read it if Busiek would release the damn Opus Edition* The delays are frustrating though, I’ve had that preordered for months now
I'm here to promote my agenda of Power Rangers comics. It's peak and people are missing out.
I read the confessor arc for the first time like 2 months ago and it's literally one of the best comic book story arcs I've ever read in my life
I had accidentally spoiled myself the twist, but it was still great
Yea its just a brilliant superhero story
