Cage #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2002 miniseries reimagines Luke Cage in a gritty, street-level narrative that strips the hero down to his bare essentials. Written by Brian Azzarello and illustrated by Richard Corben, the story follows Cage as he navigates a corrupt and violent New York City, confronting both his past and a conspiracy that threatens his community. The collected edition brings together all five issues of this hard-edged, noir-inflected take on the Power Man.
In "Cage," writer Brian Azzarello and artist Richard Corben deliver a gritty, atmospheric tale centered on a reluctant hero taking on the case of Hope Dickens, a 13-year-old girl killed in a drive-by shooting. As Cage digs into the crime, he uncovers layers of deception and danger that suggest the tragedy is far from simple. The stark, haunting artwork by Corben—both in story and on the cover—anchors a story that feels raw and unflinching, with a mystery that deepens with every page.
In "Cage," a hard-edged detective with a past takes on the case of 13-year-old Hope Dickens, murdered in a drive-by shooting, only to uncover a web of secrets far deeper than a simple crime. The story unfolds with sharp tension and moral weight, as Cage navigates a city where innocence is a rare commodity and every clue leads to a new question.
