The story, which features business-oriented superheroes named Startup, Windfall, and Protegé will be “family friendly,” according to the publisher.
Sal Buscema has been a comic penciller and inker for almost 70 years, a career that included 100-issue runs on The Incredible Hulk and The Spectacular Spider-Man. Stern and Frenz were the creative team for the story “The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man,” which appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #248 and is considered one of the top Spider-Man stories of all time.
Binge Books creator Darin Henry, who also helms Sitcomics, said the 68-page format was designed to cater to modern readers who like to binge content such as streaming television shows. He has previously released several “Binge Book” format comics via Sitcomics (see “Sitcomics Plans Wave of New ‘Binge Book’ Releases”).
