The Fastest Man on Earth(s) is back, and better than ever!

Brooke Stephenson has once again outdone herself with the art for II Crimsonstreak (the Crimsonstreakquel) by Matt Adams. I mean, seriously. Just get a load of this:

And in case that wasn’t awesome enough for you…wow. The back cover. IT IS ILLUSTRATED, PEOPLE.

Interested? Save the date for October 2013, when II Crimsonstreak will be dashing off bookshelves everywhere!

Three years after the climactic battle at the Clermont Institution for the Criminally Insane, Chris Fairborne a.k.a. Crimsonstreak chases down escaped supervillains while working feverishly to reestablish world governments in the wake of collapse of the New World Common Wealth.

His father, Colonel Chaos, sits in front of a Heroic Legion tribunal to answer for crimes against humanity. His mother, Miss Lightspeed, doesn’t seem herself following her unlikely resurrection. To make matters worse, Crimsonstreak encounters a being of pure speed not even he can outrun.

Sounds like the perfect time for an alien invasion, an encounter with a group of snobbish space cops, and the mysterious return of a long-dead friend with an unbelievable secret.

War will strain friendships. A multiversal threat will test loyalties. And you will believe a man-bird can fly in II Crimsonstreak.
