Alt★Hero is a comic book published by Castalia House under the Arkhaven Comics imprint. It was crowdfunded in 2017 and launched the following year. White nationalist and conspiracy theorist Vox Day is the creator and writer, with art by Cliff Cosmic and Richard Bonk. Given the author's extremist political views, it's not surprising that his worldview bleeds into the very foundation of the comic. The name itself comes from the "alt-right" movement, an American Neo-Nazi movement that came to prominence in the 2010s.The comic is set on an alternate history Earth and focuses on superhumans, aka "specials", who are classified as a separate sub-species, Homo Sequens. Two international bodies have been created to keep them in check. The Global Justice Initiative recruits them to serve the greater good; the Superhuman Protection Council, a United Nations body, polices them. There is some resistance to these bodies, from superhumans and regular people alike.There are two main parallel story arcs. One is set in Europe and revolves around the Global Justice Initiative; the other is set in the US and deals with the SPC. A third arc was introduced in the web version (see below) about a Chinese super team operating in America and a secret super team brought in to combat them.Alt★Hero is available in both print and webcomic format. Originally, Day published the web version on Webtoon before moving it to his own platform, Arkhaven. You can read it free here, albeit in a different publication order from the print run.Crowdfunding for a film adaptation was successful, but the money was lost in a scam and is presumed lost, with no further plans to adapt the series to screen.The comic has spawned two spin-offs: Chuck Dixon's Avalon and Shade. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Alt★Hero (Comic Book) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The American SPC storyline has a considerably more serious tone than the European arc. The dissident specials are ready to kidnap and even kill to protect their families and themselves, the art is less cartoonish, and there is less humour and more internal conflict. | |

Invulnerable Knuckles: Played straight a lot, due to the characters' super-powers, but averted in "The Dark Hunt". A haymaker from Dynamique sends a huge wolfman flying, and leaves her clutching her wrist in pain and envying Shade's thick gloves. | |

Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys: Invoked and defied by Durand. When Captain Europa's appearance causes some of the Paris protesters to lose heart, Durand tells them it's time the French fought back instead of fleeing all the time. Despite being physically outmatched, he faces and beats the Captain, inspiring the nationalists to rout their Antifa opposition. | |
