It came at a time in which comics were changing focusing to smaller, more personal tales and tackling not just characters, but environments, as well.

A few things must be pointed out: First, this series is a classic. This volume is incredibly large and almost impossible to review as a standard trade or story, especially with the variety of different narratives and characters that are included. The tales in this collection have been reprinted multiple times since their original run. These stories are more personal and thus more relatable to the reader. The heroes are merely background characters and occurrences. This collection focuses more on the citizens of Astro City. 2 is published by Image Comics and collects reprinted material from volume 2, issues 13-22.
