What's it ABOUT?
What happens when the course of human events are overwritten by comic book reality?
You get The Cosmic Age. Just what the world needs, another superhero series.
Okay. Perhaps that's not a satisfactory description. There's no "redesigning the wheel," as the metaphor goes, but it is "back to the basics," after a fashion.
There's no attempt at originality. Everything's been done to death. But that doesn't mean stories can't be made. And that's what this is: A story.
A saga! ...if a hyperbolic label is desired.
There are infinite crises, inter-dimensional invasions, temporal upheavals, street-level slugfests, and other thrills and spills!
However, it's not all mindless action! There's maturity, responsibility, choice, and doing what's right for all the right reasons. It's a grand epic of parable proportions.
There are many adventures yet to come. The Cosmic Age is a history with a future. A universe filled with people, places and circumstances of vast potential.
It is hoped that readers - from the wide-eyed, youthful newbie to the jaded, aging fan - will appreciate this humble addition to the never-ending genre of superhero comic books.
Because that's all it is.

Somewhere in our reality.
Exordium (Latin: "warp laid on a loom before the web is begun" or "starting point") - in literature, the beginning or introduction, especially the introductory part of a discourse or composition.
Exordia - A six part collection of short stories heralding The Cosmic Age.
The magnum opus has to start somewhere, sometime. The Cosmic Age: Exordia showcases six separate events, either from decades ago or a generation later, laying the groundwork for the larger upcoming ongoing series.
These mini-tales are 12 pages each and, although initially presented in digital/downloadable format, will eventually be repackaged for traditional print medium for those who prefer a more analog reading experience.
