SUPERFOGEYS TP VOL 1 INACTION HEROES
(W) Brock Heasley (A) Brock Heasley (CA) Marc LaPierre
Where do old superfolk go when it's time to get out of the game? To Valhalla-Home for the Supertired. The SuperFogeys is a comic that begins as ridiculous as it sounds, but then quickly turns into something much deeper and devastating as our HEROes are menaced by a mysterious villain with ties to their past. The lazy Captain Spectacular, quick-to-action Spy Gal, heartsick sidekick Jerry, crotchety old speedster Swifty, villainous Dr. Rocket, loony Star Maiden, morally compromised Tangerine, and sad sack Soviet Sam are all forced to reckon with old sins, new threats, and whether or not retirement was ever really a good idea in the first place.
Kara is excited to have a whole weekend to herself to get up to all kinds of moshing mayhem, but the other Super HERO Girls keep interrupting her "me time." When Kara's wish for solitude comes true as one by one the girls become obsessed with a new app, it's up to Supergirl to save Metropolis - and her fellow HEROes - on her own! In this Super HERO Girls tale, Bumblebee is tired of always being tiny! Karen sets her mind to creating a device that will make her big instead of small, but when things don't go as she planned, the other girls will get a crash course in seeing the world through Bumblee's eyes! Plus these reprint tales: • "Robin the First," Teen Titans Go! #4 (2014) • "Teen Titans Go...Fish!" from Teen Titans Go! #4 (2014) • "Prank'd," from Teen Titans Go! #5 (2014) • "Don't Look," from Teen Titans Go! #5 (2014) • "But Games Can Never Hurt Me," from Teen Titans Go! #6 (2014) • "Sleep Over," from Teen Titans Go! #6 (2014)
