Garfield and superhero fans in general won’t want to pass this one up.

Herobear And The Kid Inheritance #1 – The origin of Tyler and his friend Herobear is reprinted in this 5 part series from BOOM! Studios. An old stuffed toy bear and a broken pocket watch are the items 10-year-old Tyler inherits from his grandfather after his passing. After dealing with some bullies, Tyler learns that his inheritance isn’t what it seems, and an old stuffed toy bear can be something more. Tyler’s amazing childhood adventure begins as he learns the truth about his family. This is more than just a reprint of the original series as creator Mike Kunkel has created new bonus material making this edition a must for old and new fans.
