In this storyline, Brian Kinney, a young man new to Astro City, becomes caught up with the vigilante known as the Confessor, who takes him on as his sidekick, Altar Boy. Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson use the story to explore faith, fear, and the darker side of heroes in a city full of superhumans.
It suits readers who like superhero stories with a human and spiritual dimension, and those who enjoy Busiek's world. It can be read without prior superhero knowledge.
Growth-minded and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
