"In this new ASTRO CITY collection, the spotlight falls on Quarrel and Crackerjack as they face a real crisis: what does an aging crimefighter do when time starts to take its toll? Plus, a look into Quarrel's origins - and the end of the line for one of Astro City's most stalwart heroes. And what's a talking gorilla to do when he's always wanted to be a drummer in a rock & roll band? That's right, you go to Astro City. But from there, well, things are never all that simple"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I start off with a melancholy volume about a pair of non-powered superheroes who realize they are starting to age out of the profession. Quarrel reflects back on her hardscrabble origin in Kentucky and her volatile romance with the carefree and careless Crackerjack. Even if she can bring herself to retire, will she be able to persuade him to join her?
The backup story is about a gorilla who runs away from a hidden city of intelligent and militant gorillas in Antarctica to pursue his dream of being a drummer in a band. But how is he supposed to find his rhythm when heroes keep wanting him to join their teams and villains keep attacking his gigs?
These are not peak Astro City tales, but they are engaging with a fair amount of fun mixed in the drama and action. I did forget how dense Astro City books are. There is so much going on, they take me twice as long to read as books of the same length from the Marvel and DC superhero universes. ( )
