The Incarnate

A mysterious presence in Kurt Busiek and Brent E. Anderson's richly layered Astro City universe, The Incarnate made their debut in 2007's Astro City: Dark Age / Book Two #2, stepping into one of modern comics' most celebrated and humanistic superhero settings. This DC-published character inhabits the gritty, morally complex world of the Dark Age storyline, sharing pages with compelling figures like Quarrel, Commander One, and Encephalon. Rare and intriguing with only a handful of catalogued appearances across the Dark Age volumes and the Astro City Metrobook, The Incarnate is precisely the kind of enigmatic discovery that makes digging through Busiek's Astro City so rewarding for devoted readers.
