Thermal

Thermal is a superhero who debuted as a member of Brigade, the hard-hitting Image Comics team created during the early 1990s independent comics boom. She operated alongside teammates like Seahawk and Coldsnap across Brigade and related titles.

Thermal burst onto the scene in 1992 as part of Image Comics' explosive early era, debuting in Brigade #1 — itself a collector-significant issue — courtesy of creators Marat Mychaels and Hank Kanalz. A fixture of that bold, high-energy Copper/Modern Age moment when Image was rewriting the rules of superhero comics, Thermal has kept remarkable company over the years, sharing pages with the likes of Seahawk, Coldsnap, and Marc Barros across titles including Brigade, Bloodstrike, and Glory. With five key issues to their name and a publishing presence stretching all the way to 2018, this is a character whose staying power in the Image universe rewards the curious collector willing to dig in.
