Young Wards: No. 1: Never Coming Back

by Brian Osbourn

It's time for the heroes to make their comeback! Decades after the last caped hero prowled the streets of the futuristic, noir-influenced Justice City, dead bodies are literally falling out of the sky. Retired superhero-turned police DETECTIVE ALVIN EYE finds a startling connection to his own past--the bodies are those of old supervillains called SERIALS. As the mystery looms over Detective Eye and his long-retired allies in the disbanded super team, the POWER SOCIETY, a young hero named JASON BRONZE emerges onto the scene--seemingly through time and from decades in the past. The amnesiac teen connects with HARROWING, the Native American grandson of another elderly hero and soon discovers his own past is intertwined with the legacy of the last generation. With ghastly villains re-emerging and targeting the older heroes, the boy must overcome his twisted origins to become this generation's leader as the pulp-inspired teenage hero, TEEN OWL! But even if he can somehow manage to control his strange, chilling powers and unite a new team of YOUNG WARDS, not even the time-displaced Jason can escape the jaw-dropping reason he's stuck in the future and why he's never coming back! The extra-length premiere issue of YOUNG WARDS not only launches the rebooted OsbournDraw Comics line, but introduces readers of previous OWLVERSE comics to new and reimagined characters in an edgy drama that mixes the world of superheroes with pulp-style adventure in an ongoing series.
