Hero Worship

The biggest superhero screen writer in the World comes to comics for the first time! Zak Penn (writer of the Avengers movie, X-Men II & III movies, and the Alphas TV show) and Scott Murphy (lead writer of Star Wars The Clone Wars) spin a tale about the ultimate celebrity, an indestructible superhero called Zenith, and the rabid fans that worship him. Legions of adoring fans follow every disaster trying to speculate where they can catch a glimpse of their modern messiah. What happens when an unhealthy obsession leads to one fan getting super powers of his own?

Zak Penn (writer of the Avengers movie, X-Men II & III movies, and the Alphas TV show) and Scott Murphy (writer of Star Wars The Clone Wars) continue the freshest superhero event of the year. Zenith's biggest fan, Adam, has found himself in a dream scenario. He has developed super powers and is training alongside his idol, won't his friends be uber-jealous! But seeing the organization operate from the other side of the looking glass reveals a darker side to the infallible hero that threatens to destroy Adam's carefully constructed world.

Sometimes when your dreams come true, they turn out to be nightmares. Zak Penn (writer of the Avengers movie, X-Men II & III movies, and the Alphas TV show) and Scott Murphy (writer of Star Wars The Clone Wars) are delivering on this year's most refreshing new superhero saga. Adam is now the second most recognizable person on the planet. Branded as Zenith's young partner, he is thrust into the limelight but finds that becoming a superhero isn't what it's cracked up to be. Especially when the people you are trying to save start dying around you in fiery explosions... and on camera.

Adam thinks his life is over. His big chance to be a superhero alongside his idol, Zenith, has turned into a nightmare that saw several people die right in front of him. Hoping to get perspective from his mentor, Adam soon finds that the fantasy veil of Zenith's public persona has been wiped away and he is getting a painful peek behind the curtain. When questions about motivation and responsibility turn to violence, Adam soon finds that the Zenith Corporation has a very tight hold on the media and what is presented as "the truth." With the government stepping in to the picture it is only a matter of time before everything crumbles into chaos. Zak Penn and Scott Murphy bring big screen heroics back to comics in Hero Worship.

The bombshell is dropped and Adam's life is changed irrevocably. He's seen his idol close up and realizes the hero isn't all that he seems. Now Mara reveals the truth about Zenith's origin and erratic behavior. And the mystery behind Adam's transformation into the super powered Apex is revealed. But nothing can prepare him for his new mission... Zak Penn and Scott Murphy's incredible story is changing the way people look at superhero comics!

All of Adam's life has lead up to this surreal moment - from worshiping the godly superhero Zenith to becoming the super-powered Apex to discovering the truth about his idol and the people behind the carefully crafted public persona. Now he must choose how to confront the truth and what will happen if he turns his own powers upon his mentor and accepts the mission to bring down Zenith. One way or another, there will be blood. Zak Penn and Scott Murphy's fresh take on superhero comics have ignited fans everywhere!
