'''Notes:''' This is a reprint of the #1/2 issue that was originally only available through Wizard Magazine for mass audiences. There's also a short non-Astro City prose story, "Clash of the Titans,"  with illustrations by Brent, that was originally published in ''Newer York,'' included as well as a one page letters column and a new Alex Ross cover. The Astro City story itself is the same.
