Divine Right

In the late 1990s, Jim Lee and Scott Lobdell crafted this seven-issue series for Semic S.A., a high-octane saga centered on Max Faraday, a slacker who stumbles into godlike power. With Jim Lee’s dynamic pencils and Carlos D’Anda’s sharp inks, the book pits Max and allies like John Lynch and Christine Blaze against threats ranging from Devan Lawless to cosmic forces. A cornerstone of Lee’s post-Image work, Divine Right blends superhero spectacle with ’90s excess, exploring the burden of ultimate power through its sprawling cast.
