The Pact

From Emerald Wasp Studios, The Pact launched in 2000 as a single-issue comic that introduced a tight-knit group of heroes bound by a shared, mysterious covenant. Written by Jeff Doria, John Biely, and Josh Hopka, with art by Jeremiah Aker, this debut set the stage for a team-driven narrative steeped in loyalty and hidden stakes. Though brief, it remains a distinctive snapshot of early-2000s indie superhero storytelling, showcasing the collaborative energy of its creators.
