SEVEN WONDERS<\/h2>\n

“This is traditional heroism with a decidedly wicked and iconoclastic twist.\u00a0Inventive, engaging, bewitching, and delightful, a feast as much for fans\u00a0of the tropes as for the innocents amongst us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tony Prosdocimi lives in the bustling Metropolis of San Ventura \u2013 a city gripped in fear, a city under siege by the hooded supervillain, The Cowl.<\/p>\n

When Tony develops super-powers and acts to take down The Cowl, however, he finds that the local superhero team Seven Wonders aren\u2019t as grateful as he assumed they\u2019d be\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”]\t\t\t
