Oh, Won't You Please Take Me Hoo-oo-ome Sweet gracious, my loyalty to Astro City, the best "ongoing" comic book series ever during the lean years is paying off! I've been enjoying the new bi-monthly Local Heroes miniseries, but with the knowledge that it was only a limited series, and that while Busiek had said that more would be coming, no more had been announced. Sparse, limited Astro City was certainly far, far better than no Astro City, but I wanted more. Well, more is coming. Much more.
Two more issues remain in Local Heroes. When writing the current miniseries, Busiek decided that the story in Issue 4 was too big for one book. So he split it in half, making that story Issues 4 & 5.
Since that rounded out the promised 5-part series, the story that was going to be Issue 5 was removed from Local Heroes. Instead, though, it's being released as an extra-large stand-alone book after Local Heroes is over.
After Local Heroes, and after the one-shot, comes an eight-page preview of the next story arc.
After that will be the biggest Astro City story ever--a 12-issue miniseries consisting of one long story (which was originally going to be the story for Marvels II, but drastically re-written). The series will be broken up into four three-part sub-arcs.
Since that huge story will be largely set in the past (70s and 80s), interspersed between the sub-arcs will be possibly five stand-alone hero-focuses one-shots.
