Hope Volume 2

There was a time when Julie Lavelle secretly moonlighted as a beloved costumed Ultra known to the public as Hope... but unexpected circumstances forced her to reveal her secret identity to the world with disastrous consequences. As if having both her public and private lives now fully on display for scrutiny by the public, the media, and even Children's Services in regards to custody of her daughter, the villainous mastermind The Final Boss is now organizing his cabal of criminal Ultras in a campaign that will challenge her moral caliber -- and her life -- more than ever before.

Whether you're already among the many fans of this dramatic comic series or a new reader looking for a truly fresh take on storytelling involving superheroes, HOPE Volume 2: "Masks" will prove itself to be a graphic novel that will engage, entertain, and enthrall you with dynamic characters navigating complex and challenging scenarios that mirror many of the complex challenges that we all must continue to analyze and address in the real world.

Written by Dirk Manning (TALES OF MR. RHEE, THE ADVENTURES OF CTHULHU JR. AND FRIENDS), fully illustrated by Sally Scott (BUTTS IN SEATS: THE TONY SCHIAVONE STORY, NIGHTMARE WORLD), lettered by Dave Lentz (GOOD BOY, SPACE MONKEY KNIGHTS GO!), and edited by Drena Jo (TWIZTID HAUNTED HIGH-ONS, BURIED BUT NOT DEAD), HOPE Volume 2 continues -- and even surpasses -- the exhilarating and emotional roller coaster of the critically acclaimed and fan-beloved first volume while continuing to explore the story of what happens when a woman with superpowers willingly has her life laid bare before the world.

This is not a superhero comic, but rather a comic about a superhero, resulting in a unique and powerful reading experience unlike any other.
