The Restless Dead of Siegel City

By Blake Petit

Josh Corwood and the Capes of Siegel City are back in a new Halloween special! On Halloween night, the city of faux superheroes finds itself overrun with the REAL undead -- mummies, zombies, vampires, and all manner of creatures of the night have come to wreak havoc. Copycat, Animan, and their crew have to dig out the root of the infestation, and Josh has to confront the ghost of his greatest failure.

This short story is set in the world of the acclaimed superhero comedy adventure OTHER PEOPLE'S HEROES, and follows the heroes of that novel a few months later, as the lunacy of Halloween combines with the madness of Siegel City.
