A wondrous, humorous, childish, smart, exciting and cozy adventure set in an alternate 1950s where superhero culture is a treasured national characteristic and superheroes themselves ascend beyond the regular famous persona. We follow the shining examples of this: the legendary, mighty, often hungry, pleasure seeking, good hearted, just, comical, fantastical and creative hero Sweet Justice and his technologically advanced, tight paced, more serious young companion Busty Buick. They toil around the US in search of people in need of heroisms, and gladly help out all who need them, heavily snacking, providing social commentary and enjoying art along the way. They truly are our most virtues heroes, and their back in forth bickering is presented in the most lovable Oscar Wilde style, represented in his magnum opus of novels (and his only one) The Picture Of Dorian Gray.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
