| − | What you see in the background is the ultimate door. It's huge, and it's not from Astro City. In fact, most people are pretty sure that it is extraterrestrial in nature. Where it leads? Well so far only one person has ventured across its threshold and he hasn't been seen since. So the risks are equally as huge, and perhaps so are the opportunities. It's just a matter of getting up the nerve to knock...

| |
| − | One of the most incredible, absolutely amazing, stunningly beautiful battles of all time occurred on a cold winter's night over 100 years ago. Astro City was still called Romeyn Falls in those days. Along with trolley cars and horses, a rarely seen heroine by the name of Dame Progress wandered the city. Her weaponry and vehicles are finely crafted, state of the art instruments. She had a target that particular night, a target that was interfering with a special mission. The target, was a gentleman named...

| |
| − | | |
| − | There is no blueprint for how to become a super-hero, but Brian Kinney has a plan. A high risk decision to move to Astro City, an area saturated with superheroes. There he hopes to mingle and learn, and with luck perhaps a chance as a side-kick or assistant to an already established mask. It's not like it hasn't happened before. His break comes sooner than he expected. He also didn't expect the Confessor to be the one to offer the chance for him to be Altar Boy.
