Pulp Heroes - More Than Mortal is a fast-paced chronicle about relationships between humorous and entertaining characters. It's a story about daring adventure. About fathers and sons. Unexpected storyline twists. Secrets revealed and more secrets exposed. The passing of the heroic baton. It's about how everyone is linked in some way and how actions in the past affect the present. It's not about their abilities that show who these heroes are; it's about the choices they make. Above all, it's an action-packed thrill ride. And, most importantly, it's a story about great adventure heroes and heroines.
