WHO ARE THE POWER PALS #1 CVR B KINDT

Washed-up actors Derek and Alex have been best friends ever since  playing teen superheroes “Swallow” and “Buzzard” in the ’90s TV show Power Pals.  Wait, you’ve never heard of it? Don’t worry, you’re not alone; it was  canceled after three episodes. But that small taste of fame left them  hungry for more, and they’ve been trying to get back on the Hollywood  train ever since. After being fired from their studio security jobs and  dropped by their agent, the middle-aged pair decide to don their old  costumes, and thrust themselves back into the public eye, walking the  Hollywood Boulevard alongside the popular cosplayers. When a video of  the duo defending tourists from being badgered by a pair of rip-off  characters goes viral, the attention inspires them to fight more crime.  But when their low-level crime-fighting inadvertently disrupts the plans  of a crazed crime boss, their friendship will undergo the ultimate  test, and it, or they, may not survive long enough to enjoy their new  found fame.   •  Writer, actor, and producer Duane Murray brings his talents to Dark Horse!   •  Illustrated by the acclaimed UK based, Egyptian comic book artist, Ahmed Raafat.   •  A buddy comedy chock-full of ’90s nostalgia.   •  Four issue series.
