About this Collection

This collection presents the second volume of the official comic-book adaptation chronicling the Chicago Blackhawks' 2013 Stanley Cup championship season. Published by DC, it offers an inside look at the team's journey through the playoffs, capturing key moments and player stories in a graphic novel format.

"Bespoke" kicks off the 2013 Blackhawks series with a brutal ambush: Hammer’s forces assault Blackhawk HQ, eliminating several agents, including Wildman. As Alpha Team retaliates, only Kunoichi and Canada manage to close in on Hammer—before his advanced nano-technology overwhelms them. Written by Mike Costa and illustrated by Cafu, Carlos Rodríguez, and BIT, with colors by Guy Major and letters by Carlos M. Mangual, the issue sets a tense, high-stakes tone. Ken Lashley’s cover captures the moment of confrontation with sharp, dramatic flair.
