Union of Heroes

www.unionofheroes.com

The Union of Heroes! In early 2007, we developed the idea for a team of superheroes from Germany. And it didn’t take us long to figure out a matching title. Where else could we place the cradle of our Union of Heroes than in the Ruhr Area? This is where we live und work, this is where we know our stuff, this is where our first story had to take place.
With this project, we – Eric Wunsche and Arne Schulenberg – try to live our dream.
Disregard for a moment that this is a comic! Ignore the fact that it is a photographed one! And don’t be surprised that our heroes experience their adventures here in Germany – and not in America, England, France, Japan or where else they usually do!
Please close your eyes for a moment and imagine what it would be like: Superheroes!
In the Ruhr Area! We would like to tell you their stories. And we are certain you will like them. So, draw the curtain: The time has come for new heroes! Welcome to the Union of Heroes!
Have fun reading!

This is great!

You could have done what many are doing these days:

but I like your choice better. :-)

Good choice of "actors" -- they could have been casted in a classic superhero movie.

The dialogue is funny: it feels like there used to be twice as many frames and you cut out everything but the punchlines.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for bringing a little light into my generally frustrated life.
