Astro City, Vol. 1: Life in the Big City by Kurt Busiek
4.0
I read this a while ago. Realized I only had digital stuff on my Goodreads shelves.
Astro City is kind of a "what if superheroes, but day to day" comic. I'm not much of a comics guy and even less of a superhero guy, but this one hits me just right. Not every issue is about the superheroes; some are about the people who live in the same world as they do.
There are almost as many superhero genre deconstructions as there are superhero series these days, but this is one of the gems.
