Local Man Vol. 2 – The Dry Season Trade Paperback

Local Man Vol. 2 – Trade Paperback continues the darkly funny, genre-bending series from writers Tim Seeley and Tony Fleecs, blending superhero satire with small-town crime drama.

Once a celebrated superhero, Jack Xaver is now stuck back in his hometown, stripped of his powers and legally forbidden from putting on a costume. In this volume, Jack is drawn into a bizarre and dangerous mystery involving a suspicious death, local secrets, and the uncomfortable reality that being a hero doesn’t mean much when no one wants you anymore.

As the investigation unfolds, Local Man digs deeper into themes of failure, ego, and the cost of past glory—mixing sharp humor with genuine emotional weight. The result is a grounded, character-driven story that feels closer to crime noir than traditional superhero comics.

Smart, cynical, and surprisingly heartfelt, Local Man Vol. 2 pushes the series further into darker territory while expanding its world and consequences.
