FULL CIRCLE

In 2006 comic book legend Stan Lee hosted a little two season reality television show called “Who Wants To Be A Superhero.” The season one winner was Feedback- a young computer scientist who channeled the powers of the video games he played. 

An odd little collection of fans grew up around Feedback, we became his sidekicks, his “Tech Support.” We created our own superpowered characters, we wrote Feedback stories, created art, there was even an audio drama, voicing our own characters. Spread all over the country, we became close friends, meeting up both online and in person. 

This story is the result of 17 years of us being together. I hope you’ll enjoy the story.
