TheyâÃôre superstrong, but are they powerful enough for the big leagues? If superheroes were real, theyâÃôd be a lot like pro athletes. In this quirky graphic novel, go behind the scenes with all the heroes waiting for their big breaks.For every hero who saves the galaxy and makes the front page, there are a dozen staffers working behind the scenesâöand a hundred up-and-comers hoping to take his place. F.A.R.M. System is your ticket to the hidden world of superpowered individuals hoping to "make the Big Leagues.âÃù¬â ¬â In the Farm System, having an incredible and unique power is only the first step. Guided by an army of agents, managers, and experts, recruits must undergo rigorous psychological evaluations, harassment and sensitivity seminars, marketing and endorsement workshops, and costume design meetings, all to boost their chances of recruitment into an A-list superhero team.¬â Some recruits make âÃúthe Bigs.âÃù Some have fleeting moments of glory, then lose it all. Some take âÃúBlue CowlâÃù gigs as superpowered bodyguards for famous actors or powerful CEOs. Some flounder in the System for years, never getting âÃúthe call.âÃù¬â And some find success by joining teams of a...less reputable ilk.¬â Following the profound pop-culture satire of Three Fingers, The King, and BB Wolf and the Three LPs, award-winning graphic novelist Rich Koslowski examines the hopes, disappointments, perseverance, and triumphs of the super-gifted...and the sometimes drastic lengths they will go to to achieve fortune and fame.
