Containing original artwork by an award-winning comic artist, this anthology gathers an unexpected team of writers-both celebrated and emerging-to deliver 14 thrilling and distinctive variations on the classic theme of the hero story. These new heroes span the spectrum from postapocalyptic seer to posttraumatic arm-twister, from outcast vampire to steam-age avenger, and from two-fisted aviator to rabbi pirate; selfhood is tested, obstacles are shattered, and disorder is vanquished. The collection includes contributors such as RPG luminaries Monte Cook (Dungeons & Dragons, Ptolus) and Kenneth Hite (Trail of Cthulhu, Star Trek RPG) and also features Chuck Wendig's pathos-filled creation Mookie, the sad sack leg-breaker.
