"..."Astro City" focuses on different groups and characters...


"...often taking the viewpoint of minor characters watching events unfoldnthrough their emotional and personal lives, in a universe of superheroes and villains.


"A backstory, goes back to the 19th century, showcasing superheroes the 'Old Soldier' and 'Ironhorse, the Human Locomotive'...


"...as well as back to pre-history including 'Coyotl' from pre-Columbian America.


"It's a thrill to be working with Freemantle Media on this," said Busiek.
