Smash Gal and Esvanir: Issues #0-#18

Kari Stewart and Curtis Reese grew up as close friends and spent their adolescence together, until Kari discovered that she was special. Her parents took her away and trained her for years, leaving Curt behind. Years later, after she's mastered her powers, she arrives in Avalare City, hoping to help people. Curt, meanwhile, bitter that his best friend, widely his only friend, abandoned him, leaving him to languish turned to the only skills he had. He built himself superpowers and uses them to steal from the rich and to provide for the poor, something he wished had happened for him when he was younger. They are given alternate identities by the press. Smash Gal, the strongest woman in the world and the elusive thief, Esvanir. And they couldn't help but clash.
