Cole Mason was living a life. Not particularly normal, nor was it zany and out of control. He found his life to be a middle ground from a horror movie to downright cliche. 

His schedule was fairly stereotypical as well, for a 17 year old. Wake up, eat, go to school, come back, eat, go to bed. But he always managed to find time for the one thing he loved to do: draw comic books. Draw heroes, draw villains, and draw those people in between them...just like him. 

But all of that would change after he's nearly killed by a student he'd never seen before, and said kid starts following Cole everywhere, even going to the lengths of breaking into his house. 

Finally, Cole asks what the hell the kid wanted, and the sickly and thin boy answered with five words: I want to draw comics. 

And thus started a collaboration that would make a mark on pop culture like no other could at the time: rejuvenating the american comic book.
