Common Grounds: Baker's Dozen #[1]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second printing of Common Grounds Volume 1 collects the first six issues of the acclaimed series set in a world where superheroes and villains gather at a chain of coffee shops to unwind and interact away from their costumed lives. Written by Troy Hickman with art by a rotating roster of talented creators, the stories explore the human (and superhuman) moments that happen over a cup of coffee, blending slice-of-life drama with superhero tropes.
In "Beyond the Speed of Life," writer Troy Hickman and artist Dan Jurgens launch a poignant exploration of connection and regret, as Stevie Parsons interviews Michael O'Brien—the founder of the Common Grounds franchise—whose mission to bridge divides began as a personal tribute to his late son, the hero Snowfire. Born from a tragic misunderstanding between Snowfire and another hero that ended in death, Common Grounds was created as a sanctuary where even the most opposed can find common ground. The issue's emotional core is rendered with care by Dan Jurgens, with inks by Al Vey and colors by Guy Major, while the cover by Rodolfo Migliari captures the quiet weight of the moment.

After the reunion of Digital Man and Analog Kid, Stevie Parsons interviews Michael O'Brien, the founder of the Common Grounds franchise. He started the franchise as a tribute to his son, the hero known as Snowfire. Due to a misunderstanding between Snowfire and another hero, they began to battle, which ended in Snowfire's death. Michael decided if there had been an opportunity for his son and the other hero to talk, Snowfire would still be alive. To that end, Common Grounds was created, a neutral place for heroes, villains, or anyone that needs to talk.
