1 Go Power! (Sin Comics 1-2, Atomic City Tales 1-3, Sputnik 1-2/Atomic
City Special 1). [From Oni Press: Imagine a post-modern
world where men can fly, the cartoonists who create them show up from time
to time, and girls with extraordinary strength sell underarm deodorant and
you'll have a pretty good idea of what things are like in Atomic City. Particularly
what it's like for Atomic City's newest super-being, the rough-and-tumble
Big Bang. With rockabilly good looks and an overabundance of good-time attitude,
Big Bang is pretty fresh to the hero game and to what appears to be unlimited
powers. Joining him for his bizarre adventures are the certifiably crazy
Quirk, righteously indignant Atomic Girl, and the powerfully attractive
Z-Girl. Together, they run afoul of the city's worst criminal gang, run
by the devilish, decapitated Doc Phantom. And with all these newbies causing
trouble on the streets, what will Atomic City's greatest hero, The Green
Torpedo, have to say about it? It's a chaotic ride through the finest in
underground cartooning.] |
2 Doc Phantom (Volume 2, 1-4; 4 previously unpublished).
[From Oni Press: Doc Phantom is the leader of Atomic City's superpowered
criminal underworld, and he's throwing a party. All the groovy bad guys
are going to be there - including Apeface, Black Rocket, an the complete
Maniac Gang. So why would a hero like Big Bang get so bent out of shape
that he wasn't invited? Well, for one, Doc Phantom has kidnapped Bang's
personal cartoonist, Jay Stephens, to chronicle the event. Fists are going
to fly and cocktails will be spilled when the town's hottest superhero crashes
the shindig of the its meanest supervillain.] |
