'Eddie Gorodetsky is the funniest man in the world. He is also one of the
best friends to have in the world. He knows everything about, well everything,
but especially music, comedy, and comics. He writes the most successful comedy
on TV. Now, he’s written the best ex-superhero comic ever. If he learns to
play sax, my life will be perfect. I love Eddie.' —Penn Jillette of Penn
& Teller <br /><br />
'A funny, human comic about what it means to go from ‘super’ to
‘human.' —Patton Oswalt 'In the Nick Wilson stories Eddie Gorodetsky
has created the superhero that we probably lurks within each of us; flawed
beneath a thin disguise of skin and wrestling with a legend that was pressed
upon us all.' —Elvis Costello <br /><br />
“I hate blurbing people's stupid f@%*king books
but I love this comic book by Eddie Gorodetsky. If you love comic books you will
for reals love this.” -Sarah Silverman <br /><br />
“Writer/creators Eddie Gorodetsky and Marc
Andreyko have teamed with artist Stephen Sadowski to pose the question most
caped crusaders never have to answer: 'Now what?' The world's first real super
hero Nick Wilson was at the start of a glorious career which ended faster than a
speeding bullet. Now not yet thirty, he has to face his uncertain future without
powers, without the costume, and with very few options other than dealing with
his non-super life one day at a time. The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson is a
sometimes funny, always touching parable about the pitfalls of early success,
cloaked in the tale of a one-time hero who believes his best days are behind
him.” -Paul Dini<br /><br />
By the time we pick up his story, he is not yet 30 and barely an answer in a trivia contest. Faced with a life in a rear-view mirror full of lost powers, faded glory, former enemies, ex-girlfriends, and forgotten grudges, Nick struggles to figure out who he is today. Packing on an extra 20 pounds and peering through a medicinal marijuana haze, he is trying to build a future when all that's left is just a man who hasn't been super for a very long time.
These are THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF NICK WILSON.
