THE STANDARD is the story of two different men from two different eras who share the same heroic legacy. In the past, The Standard was the world’s greatest superhero. Today, he is a celebrity with his own reality TV show. But when a catastrophic event brings the two generations into collision, The Standard is forced to ask if superheroes still have a place in today’s cynical world.

THE STANDARD is a six-part superhero miniseries written by John Lees and drawn by Jonathan Rector, debuting in select comic stores in the US & Canada in August!
