About the series
A single-issue, 2011 debut from Image Comics, The Red Wing is a self-contained story that explores the tension between a father and son navigating an intergenerational war in a future where time travel is a military technology. Written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Nick Pitarra, this dense, visually inventive one-shot lays out a conflict across centuries, establishing a complete narrative from a single, ambitious premise. It matters as a compact, high-concept work from two creators who would go on to be major forces in modern comics.
