"I’m looking forward to visiting the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice to discuss my new graphic novel with the insightful Robt Martin Seda-Schreiber,” McDonnell said in a statement.

“‘The Super Hero’s Journey’ is something totally different in the Marvel universe. It was the most fun I’ve ever had working on a book, and I couldn’t be more excited about the final product. I’ll be signing (and drawing a superhero!) in everyone’s copy after the talk.”
