Plucked from a crate labeled "Jack," an infant Jack Blank began his life as a lowly orphan. Preferring fantasy to grim reality, he whittles away the ensuing twelve years at St. Barnaby's Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Forgotten, and Lost, eagerly exploring comic books. Meanwhile, his real life is dull and boring. His name just about explains it all--blank. Following an attack by a robot, Jack suddenly faces the Imagine Nation, a fantastical land filled with superheroes. As it turns out, he carries a deadly robot virus, causing him to make many enemies along the way. The series chronicles Jack's struggles as he tries to discover his origins and master his new found powers.
 
A trilogy made by [[Matt Myklusch]], who used to work for MTVu, the twenty-four seven running show of MTV for college students. Though it may seem cliched at a first glance, itthe Jack Blank Adventures trilogy manages to have good humor and surprisingly well constructed plot twists.
 
The books in the trilogy are:
* ''[[The Accidental Hero]]'' (August 3, 2010)
* ''[[The Secret War]]'' (August 9, 2011)
* ''[[The End of Infinity]]'' (August 7, 2012)
 
This page needs some [[Wiki Magic]] and a better summary.
