From the twisted mind of AE Stueve (author of Former , Deicide, and The ABCs of Dinkology series), comes a love letter to comic books, from romance to horror to sci-fi superhero. The Age of Heroes #1: First Born begins an epic series that aims to reconstruct the superhero archetype from the ground up. For May and Jack Norman in Oakview, NE in 1981 things are as they should be . . . until the paperboy goes missing. Light years away on the planet Essa, things are not as they should be. But Jon'Oh Lox and his lover, Ascendant Officer Aurora Vega, plan a daring escape from a dying world with one lofty goal in mind. They are going to save Jon'Oh's doomed people and they are going to do so on Earth. Things do not go as planned. A fiery meeting in Oakview gets the attention of local journalists and police officers, government officials, intergalactic war criminals, and intergalactic peace keepers, resulting in a perfect storm of events that changes not only the world, but the universe . . . forever. Thus begins THE AGE OF HEROES, a series of epic novels that spans a 100 transformative years.
