(I'm pretty sure that) Superior Showcase #2 is in stores this week! Here's a panel from my story, featuring The Unremarkable Tree Frog:
The first review I've found has been positive! Here's an excerpt regarding my contribution:
Weiser's "Big Mail Day", a charming tale of love and superheroing, ends the issue, bringing the collection back to the innocent merriness with which it began. The story follows Tree Frog, an unremarkable superhero working in the mailroom at Business Co., as he meets fellow superhero and coworker Jack Hammer, and dreams of his love (and enemy), Thievery Girl. The story at its most basic - shy boy has boring job and longs for cute girl - is a staple of indie comics, but giving it a superhero twist is very refreshing. No one wants to sit through another awkward conversation between the shy guy and his overbearing coworker, but when one's Tree Frog and the other is Jack Hammer (whose divorced parents imbued him with a Batman-esque vengeance), you can't help but laugh. "Big Mail Day", with its clean art and delightful story, is a fitting and wonderful end to the issue.
