“Don't Try This @ Home: Episode 2”

In "Don't Try This @ Home: Episode 2," a group of thrill-seeking amateurs using the H-E-R-O dial to stage stunt videos under the alias Captain Chaos hands over the device and their footage to Ronnie Barzell—only for Tony Finch to steal the dial before Ronnie can claim it. Written by Will Pfeifer and illustrated by Patrick Gleason, with inks by Christian Alamy, colors by J. D. Mettler, and letters by Ken Lopez, this 2003 DC issue captures the chaos and consequences of playing superhero for fame. The cover, by John Van Fleet, perfectly captures the high-stakes energy of the moment.
