Broken Frontier

Last Hero Standing #1 has sold out at Marvel and Diamond Comics, and writer Tom DeFalco could not be more thrilled.  “Hoo-HA! Pat Olliffe and I had a blast while working on Last Hero Standing,” says DeFalco.  “We both love the type of comics that are filled with action and angst in the mighty Marvel manner and it’s very gratifying to know that we’re not alone.”

Taking place in the universe seen in Spider-Girl every month Last Hero Standing finds friends turning against friends as some of the world’s greatest heroes become unwitting  pawns of the Norse God, Loki, and is a throwback to the storytelling of years past.  “Titles like Last Hero and Spider-Girl are part of a proud and glorious storytelling tradition and we’re just thrilled to share our love,” says DeFalco 

Spider-Girl and the MC2 Universe have earned a devoted fan-base as evidenced by the outstanding sales. Director of Sales David Gabriel says, “The Spider-Girl digest collections have outperformed our wildest expectations, with the first volume going into its second printing, and the series selling extremely well in the direct market, bookstore market, mass market and at book fairs. So expect to see further MC2 collections both later this year and into 2006—and keep your eyes peeled for a special one-shot comic in October highlighting Spider-Girl and the entire Spider-Man family!”

The five issue limited series has also been garnering rave reviews as well as impressive sales.  Ray Tate of SilverBulletComicBooks.Com says, “It's all cool and all ages goodness in Last Hero Standing. The continuity sings, and the characterization of a wide-ranging cast never falters.”

Special thanks to retailers and fans for making this series such a success and allowing us to continue to revisit the MC2 Universe. The remaining four issues have very limited quantities available so retailers are advised to get them while they can.
