Some may remind us of ancient archetypes we still hold in awe. Others will be utterly fresh and quirky. All, under the expert hands of our caring and experienced writers, will be people (and a couple of animals) we’ll grow to care about.
These are the Phenomenons—vigilantes who haunt the streets, the rooftops, and even the skies, fighting the good fight against the world’s leeches and power brokers—and risking their very human (and not-so-human) lives in the process.
Michael Jan Friedman has created a new universe of super-powered beings, with a great roster of writers contributing stories to his world: Robert Greenberger, Mary Fan, Russ Colchamiro, Hildy Silverman, Glenn Hauman, Aaron Rosenberg, Paul Kupperberg, Heather E Hutsell, Keith DeCandido, Dan Hernandez, Marie Vibbert, Ron Marz—and me!
