City is a fantastic fucking comic book.
Go read it. Well, ok, I have to elaborate a little. T hat's not the point. Like Sandman, Astro City wanders from one story to the next, from one set of characters to the next, not quite giving us the chance to grow too attached. The art doesn't jump off the page at you like, say, Todd McFarlane, but Anderson has created a distinctive look and feel for dozens of heroes that keeps one foot firmly in homage and the other kicking in originality.
