Synopsis
A stillborn superhero; an artiste for whom life has lost all meaning; a gang of hard-boiled thieves in future Los Angeles; a paranormal private eye. Put these diverse elements into the same book and you have the 104th issue of the comics industry's premiere anthology title. In "The Pink Tornado," the world's first stillborn superhero confronts his arch-nemesis, Dr. Canada, the nefarious leader of the secret society known only as I.C.O.N. "That's Mr. Painter to You" is the story of Alan Bland, a disaffected artiste with an unhealthy obsession for an old painting he found in his parents' home. In "The One Trick Rip-Off," a stylish, comics noir strip set in a near future Los Angeles, we meet a small cabal of hardbitten thieves, known to each other as the One Tricks. Finally, in "Cal: Hairball" we continue unfolding the story of Cal McDonald, paranormal investigator, whose search for a murderer leads inexorably to some truly weird characters who get even weirder, fiestier, and hairier during the full moon!
