A Decade of Damn Heroes
Damn Heroes Omnibus: A Decade of Superhero Comedy Webcomic, in One Book
For ten years, a sad little man has been forced to dance for our amusement. Now his full, agonizing history has been collected — every strip, every sigh, every bureaucratic blunder — in the definitive edition of the world's most cynical superhero satire.
Published by Wayward Raven Media · 577 strips · Volumes 1–4 + bonus content
The commercials call Hero City a paradise on earth. Our hero, Sebastian, calls it a hell hole. His crime? Driving five miles over the speed limit. His sentence? Five years of community service under the city's "overly righteous and slightly incompetent" superheroes.
His parole officer is the world's preeminent (yet not too bright) superhero. His landlord is the city's greatest nemesis. His days are spent cleaning up giant kaiju poop and providing entertainment for "incredibly spry" retired heroes. And his entire narrative is controlled by two self-appointed tyrants — writer Mark C. Frankel, who views his characters as "little ants to torture," and artist Alex Sapountzis, who illustrates Sebastian's endless torment with a little too much enthusiasm.
It's an ongoing, episodic tragedy of the mundane — proof that even super-powered beings are victims of bureaucracy and tedium.
This omnibus collects all four original print volumes — long since sold out as individual books — plus never-before-published strips, tracing the entire saga from episode one to the finale. Ten years of superhero satire, disguised as community service, in one very heavy book.
