    Safeguards last edited by aphillips17 on 08/20/23 04:42PM View full history

    A young woman lives in Shadow Hill, a dangerous neighborhood in Astro City where safety is one of the biggest concerns. Why does she stay when it could mean her life?

    A young woman from Shadow Hill tries to start a life in Astro City.

    Another excellent issue of this mini series. In this one we meet a young woman from Shadow Hill a neighborhood no one goes into due to its dangerous reputation. She has grown up there, and recognizes the dangers and is able to handle herself with it. She is subjected to question after question.

    Yet one day a super villain group attacks the city near where she works, and she finds out there is danger even in the "safe" part of Astro city. She feels that sometimes the evil you are used to is better than the evil you are not.

    What is the meaning of family? 0

    In what is perhaps the best issue of Astro City yet, Kurt Busiek and Brent Anderson weave a tale about a woman who lives in 'Shadow Hill', a supernatural / paranormal suburb of Astro City, and how she goes about her day, commuting in to a large law firm, until the day a group of supervillains attack her office and she, and her co-workers have to evacuate.  There is the usual Astro City commentary on the superhero genre - particularly the concept of the superhero family when they protagonist is r...
