What would you do, if you were kidnapped by a little green man, and taken billions of light years away from the only home you have ever known?
What would you say, when you were told, that you, an ordinary mortal, were actually the last in a royal line of valiant Heroes, foreordained to save all creation?
How would you feel, if you were then granted the greatest power, ever bestowed upon a mortal...a power which could not be taken from you?
...now imagine that they made a mistake.
They grabbed the wrong person.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT WANTED:HERO?
"Jaime Buckley is a creative superfreak! He writes amazingly funny and twisted stories. His characters rock (especially Green)! As for his artwork... it's fresher and more startling than a newborn mutant. For those still in doubt, I have just four words: BUY HIS GRAPHIC NOVEL!"--DC Green, author of Erasmus James & the Galactic Zapp Machine.
"WANTED: HERO" is a terrific comic by a talented writer illustrator, Jaime Buckley. Wendell, the all-too human hero in question, has his roots in some of the best characters of classic Eerie and Creepy comics, and yet stands on his own fresh and original feet. Anyone who loves comics will welcome Buckley's creation and want to follow him frame by gripping frame through all his adventures."
--Popular International Writer, Barry Eisler
"Jaime Buckley's innovative on-line approach to the action comic genre is a fantastic ride. Once I started reading and experiencing it, and it is indeed an experience, I couldn't stop. It's a real page turner, or rather, scroll downer, if you will. The art captures the story's drama, humor, and even the mood. And you're not reading it in a small box. Each frame fills the entire screen from corner to corner. Get yourself a 19-inch monitor and subscribe to WANTED:HERO, now."
--Author, Loren Christensen
"Buckley's creation is bound to endear itself to anyone who reads it and has at least a little bit left of being a kid inside of them.
Who didn't want to be a great wizard or warrior in some fantasy land, but ended up realizing we weren't up to saving the real world. Well, neither is the main character of this story ... but he is all they have to work with, so he'll have to do!
Not only does Wanted Hero weave a fun tale, but it does so with fantastic artwork. So if you have a hankering to immerse yourself in a fantasy world - dive right in and buy a copy. I did, and its scarecly sat on the shelf since - with friends and family wanting to look at or borrow it."
--Bonnie Nuttall
