From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up–In Astro City, superhumans mingle among the regular people and attacks from evil villains are typical daily fare. This book is a collection of nine exceptionally well-written vignettes about the inhabitants, both from the perspective of ordinary people and superheroes. In Pastoral, readers meet a punk teen who is forced to spend the summer with her relatives in the country. Through a series of her IMs, readers learn that the country is not as boring and simple as the girl had thought, and that even small towns have their own superheroes and intrigue. In the equally charming Old Times, readers meet Supersonic, a retired superhero called into duty, and see the results of trying to relive the past. Local Heroes is an engagingly written book with expressive, skillful art. An accomplished collection, it's a solid purchase for superhero fans.–Jennifer Feigelman, Plattekill Public Library, Modena, NY
