The last time Luca tried to be a superhero, he got in over his head and other heroes ended up dead.

Now he’s staying street level and avoiding the big leagues. But when a monster invasion starts under his brunch table, he learns that sometime the adventure chooses you.

The world’s strongest super hero, Luca’s ex lover whose husband he killed.

Luca’s former high school bully, determined to get under his skin, and under his clothes.

How can Luca choose when he needs them both to stay alive and save the city?

Luca’s life and his city are a mess. No family or job, friendships balanced on a mimosa glass, an alien army tips the balance. Now his former bully is kissing his hero identity and an old affair, now widowed, is back.

Fixing his city might be easier than fixing himself

Luca is a bad superhero

He works for a villain AND had an affair with the public’s favorite hero. People have died.

The city is in danger and the heroes aren’t saving it. If the only ones willing to fight at his side are villains, it might be time to stop being a hero

Fox demon romance 👀👀👀👀

Gabriel De Jesus @ikisat.bsky.social · 1d

Capital City is filled with heroes(and villains), making it perfect for Luca to make up for past mistakes

When creatures take over the city, the heroes suspect him instead of helping and Luca finds that maybe the gap between hero and villain is smaller than he thought

MCU with telenovela drama.

Luca is a superhero that sticks to fighting street crime, but now those streets are a battleground of heroes and villains vs monster. Ex lovers, former enemies, and ruined friendships are the only ones that can keep Luca, and the city, alive.

INCREDIBLE art of the first creatures our hero faces when fight of the invasion of his city. I made them and the art so good I am disturbed.

Art by Lume. Find him on insta virtuoso_lume.

(Any bluriness is 100% on me. And not artist

Two images of a creature. On the left is the grey skinned hairless creature on all fours. His knees are inverted and his body flat to the ground so his knees and elbows are the highest point. Right is the same creature zoomed on his face. A long serpentine tongue is hanging. Creature is clearly not human

A creature Made of hands and forearms coiled around each other.

Luca is so far over his head for the entirety of the book, but he is determined to convince himself that he can do his small part without tangling with the end of the world.

He is wrong.
