Comics

Aspen's first superhero comic and newest series Idolized is high on premise, with a focus on unstable yet fresh faced superhero hopeful Joule. Part superhero comic and part reality television show, the comic follows ten hopeful contestants vying to win the first season of “Superhero Idol” and become one of America’s next heroes in superhero-mecha NYC.

The Alexandria Safe-Zone is dealing with the death of one of their own, while Rick struggles to find a solution to deal with gang leader Negan. Through their friend’s death, the others are able to deal with their own inner demons, make peace with each other and finally settle on a plan to protect themselves and their community.

Things continue to heat up, as Rick is faced with more threats from Negan’s gang and one of his own loses their life. Just as things are looking up in the world, everything comes crashing down around the survivors in the second issue this month. High on action and violence, “Something to Fear” is the arc that will change everything.

Simon, Orchid, Westin, and Anzio continue the story line from the last issue by trying to find Opal, who risked her life to save them from the half animal half machine hybrid Sire Varesh. Opal however, is busy fighting her way to take down the ruler of Fortress Penuel, Tomo Wolfe and destroy the widening class gap for the disenfranchised bridge people.
