Former famous childhood superheroes, living as normal teens, are kidnapped by Alien Cat Space Pirates and battle trans-dimensional spider wizards…
The Story
What happens to child superheroes after they grow up? They end up like so many
Hollywood child stars, remembered only when a nostalgia listicle needs
filler. Chris and Sara Sheridan were Mighty Boy and The Melter of the Ultra Kids. Now
they’re two “normal” teenagers trying to navigate high school.
They figured the hard part was over. Then a reporter shows up at the door looking to
expose them, and ordinary life detonates into trans-dimensional spider wizards and
space alien pirate-cats.
These days, Sara’s a teenage raver, using ecstasy to cope with what she used to be. Chris is searching for a way to be the hero he is in his mind.
