Hey Kids, Comics! proudly welcomes you to the newest
five-issue story arc, The Super-Human Condition. This series will explore the psychology of
being at the top of the heap. From the
pinnacle of human achievement to the rarified atmosphere of the deities of
Antiquity, how do the minds of the heroes and villains of comics work? And how does their place among us influence
their psyche?
These are just a couple of the questions raised as Andrew
Farmer and Cole Houston take on the role of Doc Sampson minus the avocado green
coiffure. In this first installment
those normal people who have toned their bodies and honed their minds to the fullness
of human potential are the focus. How do
Batman, Hawkeye, and other such highly trained, skilled, and outfitted heroes
manage to hold their own amidst colleagues who
have powers and abilities beyond anything that physical or mental
conditioning could ever hope to achieve?
What drives a man with brains and brawn, assisted by the odd weapon or
bit of technology, to launch headlong into battle against every foe from the
common burglar to extra-dimensional entities with the power of the gods of
antiquity?
While we may never know the answers to these and other
questions with certainty, your very
average human hosts will pose and ponder a myriad of such queries during this
issue and the four that follow in this thought provoking arc!
