We Could Be Heroes

Scientific experimentation in the
twentieth century caused later generations to give birth to a new
breed of human gifted with the genetic potential for superhuman
feats, both mental and physical. In the United States, the Psionics
Training and Application Academy was founded to train the most
powerful of these psionics and the Enforcer Corps was created to stop
those who used their powers for ill purposes.

But the Academy had a more clandestine
agenda, one that has recently been discovered by three of its former
students. Their desperate crusade to save the children exploited to
the Academy’s dark ends leads them to the city of Mayfield, where
they face not only the threat from the Academy, but from a powerful
crime lord, an ancient witch, and all manner of villain in between.

They are heroes. They are people. This
is their story.

Styled after works from the Bronze Age
of Comic Books, The Descendants is presented in a unique
manner: as an all-prose comic book complete with issues, specials and
annuals, each telling a complete story that ties into the overall
tale of the titular superheroes.

It is also written as a throwback and
love letter to an earlier age of superheroes, to a time before
everything was grim and gritty and when comic books were fun.
