Overview

Jack Blank is the classic unknown hero.  He’s an orphan, living in a run-down orphanage, with cruel guardians, around whom strange things seem to happen often.  He always believed that he was more than what people told him he was, and is proven right when an evil character from one of his comic books, a Robo-Zombie, pops out of nowhere and attacks him.  When the robot is miraculously destroyed by an exploding generator, Jack is taken by a mysterious guardian named Jazen to the island of the Imagine Nation, where superheroes and supervillans are the norm.  The other two books in the trilogy are: The Secret War and The End of Infinity
