The Story
What happens to child super heroes after they’re all grown up? Do they end up like countless Hollywood child stars: a heroic past haunting their present, forgotten by the pop-culture zeitgeist only to be recalled in nostalgic listicles on YouTube? Chris and Sara Sheridan – formerly Mighty Boy and The Melter of The Ultra Kids – now just two “normal” teenagers trying to navigate high school and beyond.
What seemed like a future of drama, drugs, TMZ, and talk shows takes a hard left turn when a tabloid reporter rings their doorbell, hoping to expose them to the world. From that moment on, it’s all about surviving trans-dimensional spider wizards and space alien pirate-cats.
The storyline of “Starlite” is both compelling and thought-provoking, exploring the complexities of a teenage rave who grapples with the aftermath of her childhood superhero life. The character’s journey, intertwined with the use of ecstasy as a coping mechanism, adds a layer of depth and realism that resonates with readers on an emotional level.
As the protagonist is thrust into a cosmic adventure involving trans-dimensional spider wizards, the series skillfully weaves together themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the enduring spirit of heroism. The intricate plot, coupled with the dynamic visuals and expert lettering, makes “Starlite” a standout independent comic in sea of indie comic books.
The intended audience of the book is young adults and adults with alternative lifestyles with a love for comics. It contains adult themes, open drug use, fowl language, and all the bad things your parents warned you about.
