Synopsis
What happens when a lifelong comic book fan and veteran news reporter sets out to write the kind of stories he always wanted to read? The result is this Omnibus—a collection of literary short stories that celebrate the spirit of classic pulp fiction and superhero comics, while never shying away from human complexity and nuance of real life.
Born during long shifts covering politics and the criminal justice beat, these tales were first written to lift my own spirits. Each story in this "shared universe" is a love letter to the heroes, villains, and cosmic mysteries that have lived in my imagination for decades (including some of the characters)—and to the comic books that inspired them. But don’t mistake these for mere genre exercises: here, literary craft and speculative storytelling are intertwined, proving that adventure, fantasy, and literary ambition are not mutually exclusive.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Supernatural heroes and vigilantes grappling with conspiracies, cults, and the weight of legacy
- Magic users, immortals, and secret agents navigating a world where the lines between good and evil are drawn in shades of gray.
- Stories that blend action, social commentary, and meta-reflection on the history of comics and storytelling itself
- Two bonus stories: one never before published, and another previewing the next volume in the series inspired by classic superhero "team-up" events.
