About the series
In 2022, Image Comics launched Vanish, an eight-issue limited series that reimagines the superhero genre through a darkly satirical lens. The story follows a former sidekick who faked his death and now lives in obscurity, only to be pulled back into a world of celebrity vigilantes and hidden conspiracies. Written by Donny Cates with art by Ryan Stegman, the series is known for its sharp critique of superhero culture and its visceral, high-stakes action. It stands out as a compelling, character-driven deconstruction of what it means to be a hero in a world obsessed with fame and violence.
