So what is Hero House about? Oh, roughly 104 pages or so. Haw haw. Sorry, I couldn’t resist. It’s the story of teen superhero Nate Hedges. Formerly the star of his high school, Nate quickly finds himself a small fish in a big pond of superheroes once he hits college. At the center of that pond is Epsilon Epsilon Psi, a frat dedicated to preparing superpowered students for the real world. But something’s not quite right, and the university’s president taps Nate to investigate the Eps. What he finds will either crush him or offer him the salvation he’s been looking for.

So why should you buy Hero House? Well, for starters it sports a spiffy Ed McGuinness cover. And second, it’s written by Justin Aclin, head writer of Twisted ToyFare Theatre, so you’re practically guaranteed to laugh, cry and stuff your face by the end. Plus, Justin’s a real nice guy who’d like to pay his mortgage and not have to dress his two daughters in potato sacks and go back to moonlighting regularly as a plasma donor.

Look for Hero House at your local comic book shop or bookstore this November!

I can’t imagine anyone on the planet wanting to drive this thing around. Other than me, that is. Being a big Captain America fan, I’d love it. And coming from a guy who still has his denim jacket from the ’80s covered in Twisted Sister and Dee Snider patches, I pretty much have no shame.

So why am I ticked off at this contest? Because I have a history of fainting when I give blood. And I”m not talking about blood donating, I’m talking about a basic blood test you get at your doctors. Yeah, yeah. I’m a wuss. I know. I don’t want to faint, it just happens. Happened probably about 3 or 4 times in my life, though there were half a dozen other times I felt it coming on, but stopped it in time somehow. So I don’t think I’ll be entering this here contest. (Although there is a “no purchase necessary” clause. So maybe I still can…)  But yeah, I can totally picture my bad-ass self pulling up to the drive-through window at White Castle in this sucker. Ah, to (American) dream…
