Featured Articles...   The Astro-Naut He is Astro City's most revered hero. His bravery inspired the grateful citizens to rename their city in his honor. Major headlines extolling his adventures are strewn about local and national print media of the depression era and beyond. Called a genius beyond all peer, a legend living well before his times, a seemingly cavalier bachelor, yet underneath a complex, quite serious individual. The final sacrifices he made for mankind at large, occurred during the heated conflicts of the Second World War and just after. His tragic story is the center point of the special 100th anniversary issue, Astro City #41. More...   Beware the Hanged Man's gaze. It is rare for him to acknowledge your presence, much less look upon you. A Gaze from him usually means a troubling future awaits. Think of it perhaps as a warning that you are approaching a fateful crossroads in your life. A time of more than just change, but also one of great revelation, enlightenment or perhaps a salvation. Maybe you are nearing a crisis moment, or something equally startling. The motives of the Hanged Man are steeped in mystery.

A newspaper article among the Broken Man's odd and mysterious collection details the heroine Silver Adept's recent move to Astro City and her assisting the Honor Guard in their battle with Mister Mystoro. But that is just part of her very hectic life style. She is so busy being an "adept" authority on all things mystical, she even has a small staff assisting her. Stockton and Moreton They're not cats (that's for sure) and they're not exactly dogs. But they are something cute, sensitive, friendly and while not demonstrated yet, no doubt very protective. Not sure which is Stockton and which is Moreton. Except for color and perhaps gender, they source from the same species. While their position in Silver Adept's entourage seems to be that of pets, with mystics, you can never be sure, and you should never assume...   Jack-in-the-Box Jack-in-the-Box has been an active agent against crime for decades now. His colorful exploits and cavalier fighting style continue to captivate and delight the citizens of Astro City. Especially the youth from the poorer, economically challenged neighborhoods. Jack defends their turf on a regular basis, he seems to be "one-of-them" in many ways. Most of his battles are with street thugs and the lower tier costumed villains; those more interested in get rich schemes rather than world conquering aspirations. He has a long list of adversaries, a gallery of rogues villains, equally as colorful and original as himself. But on occasions, some of the strangest characters cross his path, and the encounters can be downright bizarre. More...   Mister Cakewalk Like jazz itself, this guy was cool and smooth. He had a dark mission to perform on a brisk winter's night in the early 1900s. He planned to share it. It was just a matter of timing things just right. More...   Samaritan The man who is arguably the greatest hero of the modern era is in fact not from this era at all. Samaritan was a time-traveler from the 35th century sent back to 1986 to prevent the wasteland Earth he was born into from coming about. The transit suffused him with "empyrean fire," giving him enormous physical power as well as the ability to project an "empyrean web." Samaritan has been a member of the elite superhero team Honor Guard since at least 1991. He is in a romantic relationship with Winged Victory and yes, it is complicated. More...
