Based on the hit streaming show Epic NPC Man, Hero Outage features the heroic stylings of the people of Honeywood — a humble crew of farmers, fisherfolk, and blacksmiths who have never been asked to carry the fate of a realm before.
Can these NPCs level up and save the world of Azerim from falling into the worst fate of all: utter boredom? The question hangs like a challenge in the market square, whispered between stalls and hollered from the docks, because when a world loses its danger, it loses its stories.
From superstar writer Fred Van Lente and featuring the jaw-dropping art of Bailie Rosenlund, Hero Outage #1 is an eighty-page fantasy epic that asks what heroism looks like when the heroes themselves were never meant to be more than background scenery. They are untried, unglamorous, and stubbornly human — and that may be the one advantage Azerim needs.
