Hero and Jane are on a date celebrating their high school graduation. Jane is going to leave for college in Colorado, while Hero plans to attend art school and lives with his parents.

Ten years later he is working in a comic shop, and goes to dinner with friends where he runs into Jane, with whom he has had no contact since she left for college 10 years ago.
Notes
While the cover shows a publication date of April 2009, the actual publication date of the comic is June 2012. This comic was printed as a prop to be used in a musical stage play, and copies were sold to the audience after each performance. The plot of the comic provides some of the backstory for the characters in the musical, and depicts events referred to in the musical as having happened in the past, which explains the difference between the publication date shown on the cover and the actual publication date. The creator name shown on the cover is also fictional, it is actually the name of the main character within the musical.
