- NEW MINI SERIES: “THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF NICK WILSON”
- From Eisner and Emmy-winning writers! For a few years in his early 20s, Nick Wilson had super powers and all the acclaim associated with them. When those powers vanished, so did his fame, sending him from national hero to late-night punchline. By the time we pick up his story, he is not yet 30 and barely an answer in a trivia contest.
- Faced with a life in a rear-view mirror full of lost powers, faded glory, former enemies, ex-girlfriends, and forgotten grudges, Nick struggles to figure out who he is today. Packing on an extra 20 pounds and peering through a medicinal marijuana haze, he is trying to build a future when all that’s left is just a man who hasn’t been super for a very long time.
These are THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF NICK WILSON. - “A funny, human comic about what it means to go from ‘super’ to ‘human.’” -Patton Oswalt
- “In the “Nick Wilson” stories Eddie Gorodetsky has created the superhero that we probably lurks within each of us; flawed beneath a thin disguise of skin and wrestling with a legend that was pressed upon us all.” – Elvis Costello
- “I hate blurbing people’s stupid fucking books but I love this comic book by Eddie Gorodetsky. If you love comic books you will for reals love this.” – Sarah Silverman
- “Eddie Gorodetsky is the funniest man in the world. He is also one of the best friends to have in the world. He knows everything about, well everything, but especially music, comedy, and comics. He writes the most successful comedy on TV. Now, he’s written the best ex-superhero comic ever. If he learns to play sax, my life will be perfect. I love Eddie.” – Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller
