This book rules

In Yurkovich's world, all the superheroes are unionized. All the good ones that is. The main characters are the Philidelphia-based supergroup Threshold. They are not unionized. They are also not a very strong group. Sort of coasting on the reputation from a fight they won a long time ago, they spend most of their time loafing and making snacks. They live in the shadow of more powerful, corporate groups, like the A-list supergroup New York Superhero Syndicate . When Threshold has to fight the supervillain The Stamp Collector, all heck breaks loose. Will they defeat the Stamp Collector before the mayor caves in and signs for the NYSS' medical benefits package? Less Than Heroes is awesome. I bought it at the San Diego Comic Book convention, and got it signed by Yurkovich while he was there! It is great, and so it the Broccoli Agenda!
