Being a hero worshipper is nothing new for most of us. Keith has finally gotten his chance to give a little love to Coke-bottle glasses and capes. His sense of wit is certainly apparent and viewing his work often rivals m-batin'.

SCREEN PRINTS AND PACKAGE


The colored sheets bound into issue one are prints by Synthetic. These prints tell the tale of what Lucas and Ryan will never do. Ryan will never: Eat something that is still living (unless it's a plant); Kill anything (unless it's trying to eat him); Throw something away when it can be reused or recycled (unless it has poop on it); Jump out of a plane or off a cliff (even if he's attached to a rubber band).
