TRIBULATIONS #3: BLESSINGS AND BURDENS
Stanley has faced monsters, mayhem, and impossible odds—but nothing prepares him for fatherhood.
Now, as he struggles to keep his new family together, a rampaging robot erupts across the city. With buildings falling, alarms screaming, and danger closing in, Stanley must battle the machine before it destroys everything—without missing the moments that matter most at home.
Babies, barking dogs, family chaos, and explosive superhero action collide in Blessings and Burdens. Because when you’re a hero, the fight never stops—and now, neither does the parenting.
