“I feel like this is a love letter of sorts
from Millar to all those classic pulp stories. I'm glad he shared it with all of
us.” -- Kirkus
“It's
sentimental and honest, romantic and sincere, completely unabashed in its
nostalgic reverence for old fashioned pulp. In doing something different, Millar
has created one of his best books yet.” - IGN
“...the book is on its
way to being an inter-stellar hit and I'm definitely strapping up for the
ride.” - Bleeding

Forty years ago, Duke McQueen
saved an alien world from destruction. Back on earth, nobody believed his story.
Now his kids are grown, his wife has passed on, and life has little to offer.
Until the day a strange boy from the world he once saved makes an appearance,
coaxing Duke to join him on one last adventure. Can Duke handle the leap from
has-been to hero?
Brilliant. I really enjoyed this. They really packed a hell of a lot of story into only six short issues. I loved that the Hero was an ex-air-force captain turned family man now in his sixties and still able to kick ass.
