About the series
In this 2023 Image Comics series, writer Brian Buccellato and artist Stefano Simeone flip the superhero origin story, centering on a fifty-year-old man who suddenly gains powers and must navigate a world built for younger heroes. Across its initial six-issue run, the book explores the unique challenges and humor of middle-aged superhumanity, from aching joints to a lifetime of regrets. It matters for offering a refreshingly adult, grounded take on the genre that rarely focuses on heroes past their prime.
