(W) Robert Kirkman (A) Cory Walker (Cover) Cory Walker & Bill Crabtree FC 32pp $2.95 Monthly Ongoing series In stores the week of September 10th. THE CONCEPT: Mark Grayson is just like most everyone else his age. He's a senior at a normal American high School. He has a crappy part time job after school and on weekends. He likes girls quite a bit... but doesn't quite understand them. He enjoys hanging out with his friends, and sleeping late on Saturdays... at least until the good cartoons come on. The only difference between Mark and everyone else is that his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, and as of late, he seems to be inheriting his father's powers. Which sounds okay at first, but how do you follow in your father's footsteps when you know you will never live up to his standards? THIS ISSUE: Finally after numerous mentions in the book and countless off-screen deeds, the Guardians of the Globe make their triumphant first appearance! Watch as the most powerful super-team around steps in to handle a crisis of immeasurable proportions. But, how will Mark feel about this when the spotlight is stolen from him just as he's starting to get noticed? Also in this issue, an event that will change the status quo forever... we're not kidding, folks, do NOT miss this issue! This stand-alone story is a perfect jumping on point for new readers, a great opportunity to find out what all the buzz is about! Cover price $2.95.
