From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up–In Astro City, superhumans mingle among the regular people and attacks from evil villains are typical daily fare. This book is a collection of nine exceptionally well-written vignettes about the inhabitants, both from the perspective of ordinary people and superheroes. In Pastoral, readers meet a punk teen who is forced to spend the summer with her relatives in the country. Through a series of her IMs, readers learn that the country is not as boring and simple as the girl had thought, and that even small towns have their own superheroes and intrigue. In the equally charming Old Times, readers meet Supersonic, a retired superhero called into duty, and see the results of trying to relive the past. Local Heroes is an engagingly written book with expressive, skillful art. An accomplished collection, it's a solid purchase for superhero fans.–Jennifer Feigelman, Plattekill Public Library, Modena, NY

From Booklist
In his Astro City series, of which this is the latest collection, writer Busiek proceeds as he did in the earlier Marvels (1994), which viewed the early years of Marvel Comics' renowned superheroes through the eyes of a newspaper photographer. Busiek places the less-familiar Supersonic and Atomicus in what is essentially the real world. He gives them archetypal superhero traits that impart an air of familiarity, and he treats them with a freedom that wouldn't have been allowed were he working with high-profile corporate icons. In these stories, the heroes generally take a backseat as Busiek focuses on Astro City residents who cross their paths--a hotel doorman, a defense attorney, an actor who portrays a superhero on TV, and an aspiring comic-book writer. Busiek has the heart to play to the appeal of old-school superheroes, who are nobler than their newer counterparts, and the brains to make them credible to more-sophisticated contemporary readers. Artist Brent Anderson, most influenced by classic magazine illustration, is the ideal collaborator for Busiek's adventures in verisimilitude. Gordon Flagg
