He’s young, he’s fit, he’s got a gal who’s interested — and he’s superpowered. Jasper Jenkins, star of the new superhero Image Comics series The Bounce by Joe Casey and David Messina, pretty much has everything going for him. Why complicate things by taking things too seriously? Jasper’s about to embark on the greatest trip he’s ever known, and he’s going to ride it all the way…!

Described by Casey as a “slacker superhero comic for the 21st century,” The Bounce gets underway in May with dynamic art, acrobatics, and an unabashed love of fun.

With a nod toward Spider-Man’s innovative, early days and Invincible’s origin era, Casey has added something all his own to the superhero mix with the mature-rated The Bounce, hinting, “Sometimes the idea of ‘fun’ can get a little heady… as it does right off the bat in issue #1.”

The Bounce is a full color, ongoing series. Issue #1 will be in stores on May 22. It will be available for pre-order from the March issue of Previews (MAR130444).
