In the present day, a comics legend is given the chance to revive a beloved but forgotten character. But at what price?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnie Bustamante is a cultural force like none other: an acclaimed filmmaker, an author, a comic book artist known for one of the all time best superhero comics in recent memory. But she’s never been able to tackle her longtime favorite superhero, the Lethal Lynx. Only known to the most die-hard comics fans and long out of print, the rights were never available―until now.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBut Annie is skeptical of who is making the offer: Bert Carlyle's father started Triumph Comics, and has long claimed ownership of the Lynx. When she starts getting anonymous messages urging her not to trust anyone, Annie’s inner alarms go off. Even worse?

For the first time since she started reading a tattered copy of The Legendary Lynx #1 as a kid, she feels a pure, creative spark. The chance to tell a story her way. She's not about to let that go. Even if it means uncovering the dark truth about the character she loves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSharply written, deftly plotted, and with a palpable affection for all kinds of storytelling, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlter Ego\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a one-of-a-kind reading experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wide Genre","offers":[{"title":"Soft Cover","offer_id":47516378071260,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hard Cover","offer_id":47516378104028,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/2044\/5148\/files\/2_3c3ad2ec-aa69-4e98-8b4a-b5f35edff3b2.png?v=1769855487","url":"https:\/\/widegenre.com\/products\/alter-ego-by-alex-segura","provider":"WideGenre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
