About the series
In this 2013 Image Comics debut, Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore introduced a deceptively simple premise: a bullied teenager named Luther Strode discovers a bodybuilding course that grants him superhuman strength and agility—but at a shocking, violent cost. The single issue, packed with Moore's kinetic, hyper-detailed art, launched a cult-favorite series that reimagined the superhero origin as a horror-tinged, action-movie thrill ride. Its lean, potent start set the stage for a gripping saga of power, consequence, and the monstrous price of transformation.
