Brilliant

In 2014, Marvel and the powerhouse creative team of writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley launched Brilliant, a single-issue series that explores the moment when a group of young geniuses finally achieve the impossible: the secret to unlocking superhuman abilities. Rather than becoming heroes, they must grapple with the terrifying responsibility and moral consequences of their discovery in a world not ready for them. This one-shot comic matters as a focused, high-concept character study from two of Marvel's most celebrated collaborators, offering a fresh take on the origin of power.
