As if you needed another reason to come out and see us at MegaCon this weekend, we’ll be releasing a new iHero Omnibus from super scribe Sean Taylor. Entitled Show Me A Hero, Taylor’s tome collects all the stories he told during his years as a partner and a staff writer on the award-winning magazine, Cyber Age Adventures.
Sean was the first staff writer to come aboard at iHero Entertainment. He played a big part in shaping the tone and style of the universe itself and this superhero anthology shows that off to great effect. Instead of waiting month after month for a new Sean Taylor superhero story, they’re all collected here. And, if you’re reading the new “I, Hero” magazine, this is a great primer for the same characters that appear in the new mag.
Sean is a writer of the first order and his stories have always exhibited a literary bent that’s allowed iHero to defy the preconceptions people have about superheroes in a prose format. Don’t believe us? Listen to what a few of his peers had to say about the book:
“Sean Taylor’s stories focus less on the obvious trappings of the genre, instead homing in on the conflicted, flawed human beings for whom greater-than-mortal powers don’t convey greater-than-mortal morality.”
—Tom Brevoort, Executive Editor, Marvel Comics“Show Me a Hero delivers a series of stories that are dangerous, intriguing, fun and lathered with that sense of character readers will be sure to love. Once you’re done reading, you’ll know you read a well-crafted, fully rounded piece of work.”
—Dan Jurgens, author of The Death of Superman
If you’re ready for something different, this is what you’ve been waiting for. And to those who think that superheroes can only exist in comics, you’re in for a real treat.
Show Me A Hero debuts at MegaCon in Orlando this coming weekend. After that, it’ll be a few months before it goes through channels and gets into bookstores nationwide.
We hope to see you at the show!
All the best,
