ADVENTURES OF THE BROOKLYN HIPSTER SUPERHERO

"Adventures of the Brooklyn Hipster Superhero" is a comic three part mini-series
about a superhero who doesn't have any real powers,
but feels it's his mission to protect his Brooklyn neighborhood from improper gentrification.

Equipped with cell phone and walkman, he works by day as a temp in a data management office,
but when needed the most, his true identity is revealed...
In Episode 1, he saves a young woman from being hit by a car
(a woman that will later create a hip superhero identity of her own).
Together, their often clumsy but sincere quest to maintain
and restore the quality of Brooklyn life culminates in the final episode,
when the superheroes confront an Evil Realtor
who attempts to evict a Polish couple from their Greenpoint apartment.

* The series features music by bands from the booming Brooklyn rock scene:
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Moldy Peaches, Girls Against Boys,
The Rogers Sisters, Le Tigre, Japanther, Lungs of a Giant, The Bright Lights, !!!,
Mz. Pakman, and more...
