Hero By Night, the winning entry in Platinum Studios 2006 Comic Book Challenge will be hitting store shelves March 21. I’ve read portions of the first issue, and it is a solid story written by D.J. Coffman that tells the tale of Jack King who finds the hidden headquartes of a long missing superhero. In order to make some fast cash, Jack auctions some of the gear, which attracts some very bad people. “The online feedback for the web comic has been amazing,” said Coffman, creator of Hero By Night. “Readers really seem to be embracing this project, and it…

Platinum Studios has sent Major Spoilers the titles, covers, and soliciation information for items shipping in April 2007.
Platinum Studios has sent Major Spoilers an 11 page preview of the upcoming Hero By Night mini-series. I like the concept behind the mini; Boy finds hide out of a missing local hero, Boy decides to sell stuff on auction, Villians think Boy knows where the hero is hiding. The art probably isn’t up to the par many have been spoiled on, but a combo of story and art can make for a great title. Regardless of the recent controversy, the company is trying to make a go of print titles, and you can judge the results for yourself after…
