A look into the life of Wolfspider, the Australian Honor Guard member. When Queenslaw, a cartoon super hero team from Wolfspider's youth, suddenly turns up as real heroes, he has to deal with his origin, his childhood dreams, and deadly danger. Guest art by Australian comics star Gary Chaloner (Jackaroo, Red Kelso, John Law). Plus: a fistful of Australian super-villains, too! It's a whole theme thing!

BONUS REVIEW by John Robinson


Astro City is always a solid comic, and this issue is no different. It's weird not having Brent Anderson drawing every single issue and I feel like these 'guest artists' are invading his comic, but it's still nice to see another artists take on some of the characters from the Honor Guard. This issue features long lost comic artist Gary Chaloner returning to comics (at least to me) having last spotted him in the early 90s drawing some EPIC mini-series that name escapes me. Smooth rounded art that you expect from Gary his style has remained the same while his skills have improved. It's a done in one stand alone issue, and it was nice to see Garys work again! Thanks Kurt.

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
