Description

Astro City started with several one-shot stories before embarking upon a mini-series in issues #4-9 of its second volume. The topic: Batman, or rather his Astro-analogue The Confessor, a figure of the night, skulking amongst the stone gargoyles adorning Grandenetti Cathedral. As he often did, Kurt Busiek told this tale from the perspective of a non-powered newcomer, in this case Confessor's new prot�g� Choir Boy.

On this dramatic page near the climax, Confessor knows that the mayor and his troops are actually shapeshifting aliens. But they know that Confessor is a vampire, and they're prepared to spike him with a stake-shooting Gatlin gun. Ouch! That's going to leave a mark. Fortunately he's not quite finished, as we'll see.

That's quite a Kirbyesque police cruiser in the fourth panel, isn't it! The whole page is rendered in cinematic full-width panels. When are we going to get an Astro City TV show?

A first with Astro City with the saga extending that many issues for normally a self contained anthology series. This is definitely Kree-Skrull war!
