Local Man Vol. 1: Heartland by Tim Seeley, Tim Seeley, Tony Fleecs
5.0

Man, Tim Seeley and Tony Fleecs are on their game creating a really great down to earth story featuring superhero characters.

Basically we have Jack Xaver, aka Crossjack is his superhero name, and he's just not having a great life. He has to move back with his parents, his superhero career is over, and he's just not fitting in anywhere. Then when he takes down a villain and that person dies, things get scarier as coverups begin and people start to die.

The characters all feel real, the repercussions of their actions and their past come back to haunt them, and the lead is worthless at times, but has a heart that makes him easy to follow. I also think the art is great, showcasing kind of this beat down and sad city with over the top superhero moments that help spark the interest.

I hope this series continues to be this good because I really dug it. A 4.5 out of 5.
