The Pedestrian

Slice of life Superhero
An oddball good samaritan impacts the lives of regular small town...
An oddball good samaritan impacts the lives of regular small town people as he fights a silent battle against forces of evil with origins at the very beginning of time. In every small town, there exists a person who everybody recognizes but nobody really knows. In Summer City, it’s a guy clad in white spandex who will stop to help a citizen in need, whether it’s preventing a mugging or helping them parallel park—as long as he can do so within the bounds of the law. This man is THE PEDESTRIAN, a mysterious figure who weaves in and out of the lives of our townsfolk like a super heroic tumbleweed. Throughout the series, we meet a spider-web of characters—a petty criminal, a babysitter, a pizza delivery girl, a crossing guard, a detective, and eleven-year-old twin brothers—connected at first by a fascination with The Pedestrian, only to unite with him—and each other—in an ancient battle against evil cosmic conquerors called The Klutch. While going about their normal lives full of kind gestures and everyday evils, they are unknowingly playing a role in a game of cosmic chess that could conclude with the end of all things. As the group of strangers work to untangle the mystery of THE PEDESTRIAN, the hero confronts the trauma that made him who he is, revealing secrets about the cosmos that our characters aren’t equipped to understand.
