Super City: Arrival (Stupendous Man™ Book 1) by Joey Fredrickson
Super City: Arrival – Issue #1
The island, the hero, and a lot of trouble.
Welcome to Obamashu, where super-powered rescues, martial arts mayhem, and mysterious conspiracies collide in a city that’s anything but ordinary. Joey Kasaras, also known as Stupendous Man, isn’t here for a vacation—he’s on a mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend, Angela. And if that wasn’t enough, the island is still recovering from a Godzilla-like attack that left devastation in its wake, including some unresolved trauma for Joey.
In Super City: Arrival – Issue #1, you’ll follow Joey as he dives headfirst into chaos with the kind of confidence only a young hero with superhuman powers could have. From dodging bullets and throwing street thugs through the air to making time for sarcastic quips and reflections on life’s absurdities, Joey’s journey is an action-packed, tongue-in-cheek adventure that doesn’t take itself too seriously—except when it does.
But it’s not just about beating up bad guys. Joey’s got family drama, too. His dad calls with some news: his little brother Jonathan is competing in a martial arts tournament on the island—just nine days away. Now Joey’s got a ticking clock to save Angela and uncover the truth behind the island’s shady dealings, all while juggling his growing list of problems, including a police investigation that sees him as the prime suspect.
As Joey faces off against angry street criminals, we get a peek into his past, his regrets, and—let’s be honest—his undeniable penchant for causing chaos. Whether it’s accidentally flinging a knife into a bird mid-flight or getting dragged into a fistfight that escalates into a video game-style showdown, Joey’s life on Obamashu is anything but predictable.
Full of parody, action, and humor, this first issue sets up a journey where the absurd is just another part of being a hero. Will Joey survive the conspiracy on Obamashu, rescue Angela, and still find time to prepare for the family reunion coming his way? You’ll just have to dive into Super City: Arrival to find out.
Perfect for fans of superhero action with a twist of dark humor and martial arts flair!
