Alice has been hiding her true self all her life. She keeps it a secret that she can bend steel with her bare hands, that she can't be cut or broken or bruised, that she can fly through the sky like she was born among the clouds. But she feels pain. She feels tired and ashamed and frustrated. She feels grief. Most of all, she feels lost, a child wandering in the dark in search of a reason she was born this way. She hides her powers, powers that didn't help her save the life of someone she loved. But she can't hide them forever, because if she did nothing with them, if she couldn't help anyone, it would be like letting him die again. But her chance is coming. Somewhere out there, there is someone like her making a difference. If she can find him, maybe join him, she might find the answers and the redemption she needs.

However, he is caught in a violent car crash on the way to the recruitment office. Although he survives, he loses his right arm, and is ultimately turned away and denied the chance to serve as a result, much to his devastation. After a while of unsuccessfully trying to dedicate himself to his mother Susan's security firm instead, he is visited in a dream by the Egyptian god of strength and fertility, Apis, who, in exchange for restoring his arm and granting him immense super strength, charges him with becoming his avatar, fighting for justice and defending the innocent wherever he goes. Once James finds out that a sect of rebels are planning to usurp his mother's company from the inside-led by an individual who appears to hold a grudge against Apis-it's up to him to find out who they are and bring their dangerous plot to a screeching halt, before Lockdown, Inc. is fully transformed into a highly illegal transport channel for the mysterious Avian Wing brothel. • Cover designed by @Castiment

"Who are you?" the supervillain asks. His breathless voice is surprisingly soft. I slam my hands on either side of him, leaning in so close my nose touches his mask. I'm the taller one. "It's 'Please Don't Kick My Sorry Butt,' but you can call me 'Too late, I Already Did.' " And I have to admit, that one I'm a little too proud of. ***Hey, hey!

What makes a superhero? Is it the power? The fearless, possibly reckless bravery? The cool suit? The mask? Or is it just the person? Shimmer has been a superhero for as long as she can remember--she knows nothing else. She has a suit, is both fearlessly and recklessly brave, and knows how to throw a pretty good punch. More than anything, she has power. As a matter of fact, she has more power than she knows what to do with. Enough power that hardly anyone questions why she doesn't bother to wear a mask; after all, who would be foolish enough to antagonize someone who could level a city? Widely regarded as the best hero in the world, Shimmer's white suit and wild red hair are known around the globe. All of that fear and respect don't exactly leave much room for friendship, but, in Shimmer's mind, that's just as well. She's completely devoted to her work, and she works alone. With so much power, she's never needed anyone's help. Until now.

Ember Harridan's life is complicated.

After the latest mission goes horribly wrong and a tragedy strikes her family, she ends up facing all three of the aforementioned issues at once. Does she triumph? You'll have to find out.
