Weyer Any trip to Kurt Busiek's wonderful comic book universe is great and this new volume is no exception. The series has always used types for its characters and so it makes sense how this volume focuses on Samaritan, Winged Victory and the Confessor, the obvious analogue for DC's big guns. The plot mainly focuses on Victory when a smear campaign begins, first old foes claiming Victory paid them to fake fights, then women she's helped in her shelters talking of abuse. It's fun how she doesn't react with anger just taking it in stride as she defends herself, aided by lover Samaritan and the Confessor. As she tries to find out who's behind this, we discover the origins of Victory and how it plays into her current state.As ever, the way this world feels so fresh and exciting is terrific. When the trio go over suspects, you feel like this are enemies around for years even if they're mentioned for the first time and that history is showcased well. The Confessor (last appearing as a teenager in "Confessions") is now more capable, using mystic runes for his work and the genius touch of a system of helpers called the Choirboys. The fights are terrific, from a brief Samaritan/Confessor clash to full scale battles, all done under Brent Anderson's beautiful artwork. But the story is great as you feel for Victory, trying to do her best to defend women but realizing the "old ways" aren't the best and that method may do more harm than good. You just get so into it, the plot almost secondary to the great character building Busiek pulls off.The other addition is a "Visitor's Guide" made back in 2001 with a short story and pin-ups of various AC characters by a variety of artists. Also, while not huge in detail (Busiek obviously having stories planned), the history of the city is a nice bit as well as maps to show where things are. As always, the great bit of collections are the sketch work by Anderson and Alex Ross showcasing the development of characters and let you enjoy the creative process. Once again, Astro City remains the best superhero comic on the market and this collection is a truly winning one.

Atsro City Soars To Victory...again By Gary D Zenker Astro City is one of the best examples of a comic that is consistently of excellent quality in both writing and art. A large part of the credit goes to Kurt Busiek, who is able to tell stories about characters who feel familiar even if it your first introduction to the characters.This story clearly focuses on Winged Victory (despite what I would describe as an accurate but misfocused story summary provided in the book description) and her attempt to resolve a malicious attempt to discredit her as a hero. As usual, there are a lot of thought points in a Busiek story and, in this case, many revolve around the roles of women. I found the story and characterization believable and consistent, without resorting to lecturing (which could easily happen on topics like this one). The art is up to its normal high quality and serves as an excellent vehicle for the story. Kudos to Busiek and Anderson for remaining together as a team for the series' run.As I tell anyone who buys an Astro City book: buy it in HARDCOVER. This is a volume you will treasure and reread many times.

By Amazon Customer Another good Astro City story this time focusing on Astro City's version of Wonder Woman. Since she's not really Wonder Woman, she can be a much more outspoken feminist icon than the original. While that normally wouldn't be of much interest to me, Busiek forms her into a well rounded and sympathetic character. She finds herself undermined and framed by an unknown enemy. To find out who, she needs the help of the Astro City version of Superman and Batman, but the women who've given her her powers think it's both bad form and a bad message for her to turn to men for help. The action isn't particularly impressive but its a thoughtful and well done story on gender issues that doesn't devolve into the usual liberal vs conservative arguments.Normally these books have lame extras but this one includes the Astro City Visitors Guide which is really cool, part tour of Astro City and part Astro City Superhero guide, its actually a very good add on.
