BONUS! Our opening act will consist of:

"A People's History of Super-Heroism" Parents can put a lot of pressure on their kids to be what they want them to be and it's even worse if your parents happen to be super-heroes. "A People's History of Super-Heroism" shows how one man reacts to the pressure his super-heroic family put on him to continue their legacy of crime-fighting rather than find his own path.
