Who are the Artonans in Super Supportive?
The Artonans are an alien civilization deeply connected to Earth's superhero system and the contracts behind it. Their presence turns the setting into a story about interspecies institutions, labor, and power as much as conventional costumed heroics.
Where is Super Supportive published?
Super Supportive is serialized online, with Royal Road serving as its best-known reading platform. Its long chapters and gradual progression make it closer to a character-driven web serial than a short superhero adventure.
