Summary

"Triumph. Tragedy. The empyreal. The infernal. Even the mundane, filtered through the fantastical. Superheroes stories have unlimited potential in the tales they can tell. But these stories needn't star big, strong, white dudes in capes and tights. Anyone in the world -- no matter their race, sexuality, gender, or level of ability -- can be a hero. These thirteen stories play with and expand the superhero tropes we know while paying homage to the genre that has enraptured fans for more than eight decades." --Book jacket
