Context is everything.

Superman has Metropolis - the City of Tomorrow, all gleaming spires and spinning globes. A gleeful, golden playground where anything is possible. Batman has Gotham City - a dark place of oppressive angles and hidden alleyways, where threats to mind and body lurk around every corner. And Judge Dredd has Mega-City One - a sprawling, claustrophobic mess of crime and deprivation, borne on the back of four hundred million souls.

In comincs like these - and ours - the backdrop becomes an important character in its own right. If you doubt this, try and imagine Batman patrolling Emmerdale, or Spider-Man swinging from the lofty spires of Trumpton.

So if location determines content, what does this mean for Bostin Heroes? What sort of place would produce heroes like ours?

Our Heroes are ordinary people with ordinary dreams - the aspiring actress, the hardworking husband - and while their methods may be unorthodox, their mission is one we all face, every day: to strive for a better tomorrow. Inspired by the modern rebirth of the second city, our Heroes understand that a modern diverse culture is not only worth celebrating, but worth fighting for. And inspired by the infinite promise of Tomorrow, our Heroes run headlong into the fray, ready to risk it all.

Superheroes are metaphors for hope, for the best of human potential. Bostin Heroes is the story of four people who embody the best aspects of the people of this oft-overlooked part of the country. It is our absolute pleasure to bring you these tales, and we hope you enjoy the ride.
