This was so delightful. I was busy on Free Comic Book Day and never got to a store. This made up for that in so many ways. What artists and storytellers are able to do independently is just amazing.

I thought it was outstanding. But then, my work is i it, so I'm biased.

The Collective of Heroes is a loose conglomeration of independent superhero webcomic authors. In this case we got together to produce a free comic for FCBD. It's actually a brilliant chance to check out our work, in a large sampler. Gives you the reader the chance to peruse our online (and in most cases also in print) work at a glance, reading it comics style instead of having to page backward through our timeline or flip to page 1 issue 1 and see how our work looked when we started. This is who we are and what we do today.

So come check us out. We put it all together in a nice tody and well-packaged packet for you. Take a look.

And if you like it, tell a friend.

This sequel delivers! The artwork is even better and it brings us even more fun characters.

A fun and clever story. Great to read with the younger people in your life.

I loved this. This is what a comic should be. I had to do a doubletake, thinking Mark Waid or Warren Ellis or Peter David wrote it. The story is great. Instant understanding of what's going on, character development and caring for the characters pretty darn quickly. Every one else out there who tries to publish independently--this is the exact thing to do with a free preview issue. I will now buy the others. Admittedly, the art isn't the strongest but it is adequate for its needs and the story more than makes up for it. Fantastic job--and I am a very harsh critic.
