Introducing Meteor Mite! The most powerful being on earth…and the world heavyweight championship wrestler? Every hero has an origin story, and this one belongs to Meteor Mite!

Mikey is about to step into a whole new world… while accidentally making enemies along the way.
“Meteor Mite is finally here! He is my itty bitty all-powerful cosmic super hero who must prove himself worthy of being on the team!” said Baltazar. “My gosh, it seems like I had him in my sketchbook for years… because I have! It’s true! Meteor Mite is inspired by all the superhero cartoons I watched as a kid. Through the years, I wrote and drew bits of his story and created aliens and bad guys along the way. And now it’s finally all coming together! A modern classic epic indeed. And he fits perfectly in the Aw Yeah! Comics Universe! I am so proud of this comic and hope you enjoy, Aw, Yeah!”
