Atomik Mike

In 2007, Desperado Publishing released Atomik Mike, a four-issue comic series by writer Stephan Nilson and artist Israel Cruz. The story follows a down-on-his-luck actor who lands the role of a classic superhero on a struggling TV show, only to find the line between fiction and reality blurring in dangerous ways. This series offers a clever, meta take on superhero tropes, exploring the price of fame and the weight of a costume.
