1st printing. Written by Duane Murray. Art and cover by Ahmed Raafat. Chapter Breaks by Ahmed Raafat, Matt Kindt, Tyler Boss, Jesse Lonergan, and Shawn Daley. A buddy-comedy graphic novel about fame, friendship, and just how long you're willing to fake it till you make it. Washed-up actors Derek and Alex have been best friends ever since playing teen superheroes Swallow and Buzzard in the 90s TV show Power Pals. Wait, you've never heard of it? Don't worry, you're not alone; it was canceled after three episodes. But that small taste of fame left them hungry for more, and they've been trying to get back on the Hollywood train ever since. After being fired from their studio security jobs and dropped by their agent, the middle-aged pair decide to don their old costumes, and thrust themselves back into the public eye, walking the Hollywood Boulevard alongside the popular cosplayers. When a video of the duo defending tourists from being badgered by a pair of rip-off characters goes viral, the attention inspires them to fight more crime. But when their low-level crime-fighting inadvertently disrupts the plans of a crazed crime boss, their friendship will undergo the ultimate test, and it—or they—may not survive long enough to enjoy their new found fame. Softcover, 128 pages, full color. Rated T Cover price $19.99.
