The New Hero Volume 1- Every Age Needs Its Heroes
Containing original artwork by an award-winning comic artist, this anthology gathers an unexpected team of writers—both celebrated and emerging—to deliver 14 thrilling and distinctive variations on the classic theme of the hero story. These new heroes span the spectrum from postapocalyptic seer to posttraumatic arm-twister, from outcast vampire to steam-age avenger, and from two-fisted aviator to rabbi pirate; selfhood is tested, obstacles are shattered, and disorder is vanquished. The collection includes contributors such as RPG luminaries Monte Cook (Dungeons & Dragons, Ptolus) and Kenneth Hite (Trail of Cthulhu, Star Trek RPG) and also features Chuck Wendig’s pathos-filled creation Mookie, the sad sack leg-breaker.
The New Hero Volume 2- New Heroes for a New Age
Every generation fits the time-honored constants of the hero tale to its own needs. Today’s serial adventurers, whether they burst from re-envisioned histories or ply the humming foredecks of an imagined future, ride a cresting cultural wave. Through thirteen thrilling stories of threatened identity and vanquished disorder, The New Hero 2’s diverse cast of top writers slices, dices and recombines the limits of the form.
Plunge into danger alongside their unforgettable problem-smashers, from a feminist painter-mercenary to a spacefaring bad-ass, from steampunk cowgirls to a mutant paladin of the semiotic apocalypse. Hunt monsters churned up in the wake of the crusades. Plumb occult secrets on Chicago’s meanest streets. Crack wise with hardboiled sword-slingers. Succor lost souls on the soft shores of Limbo.
Grab camera, medkit or mystic tome and rush to your rendezvous with the heroes of tomorrow.
