From the author:
"Kids with mediocre powers getting chased around by mercenaries and big hairy monsters."
Or--
"Big musclely guys beating the crap out of each other."
Those are the most common descriptions I use for the comic. Here's another one:
"The Front is kind of a fairy tale (boy lives semi-normal and unfulfilled life, when suddenly these monsters jump out of the woods and tell him he's got to go stomp some evil wizard) told in the super-hero genre."
But you don't have to take my word for it--read it and decide for yourself!
