It’s been two years since the world was shaken by a huge geographic event that gave a select few superhuman abilities, and our favourite comic book Superheroes of the 1950s became a reality! Except it's not the 1950s anymore; and real people aren't written in technicolour. So instead of the millionaire moguls with futuristic gadgets in secret lairs, our heroes are a bunch of queer friends in a flat share in Bethnal Green. The world may be ready for Superheroes but is the world ready for Superqueeroes?
