A modern superhero epic in the mind of Tom Peyer (The Wrong Earth) and Alan Robinson (Planet of the Nerds). Penultiman, The Next-To-Last-Stage In Human Evolution, is the greatest, best-looking, and most admired super-hero in the world--so how can he stop hating himself? Only his android understudy, Antepenultiman, may hold the answer. "We've seen characters who represent the ultimate stage of human potential, but I don't think we've met any who are just a little worse than the best," says writer Tom Peyer. "Imagine the anxiety of being so advanced--only to be outclassed. That's PENULTIMAN."
