☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the conclusion of the 2019 Damage series, part of DC's New Age of Heroes line. It follows the military's living weapon, Ethan Avery, as he struggles to control the monstrous Hulk-like form he transforms into, facing escalating threats that push his destructive power to its limits. The collection includes issues #7-12 of the series by writer Robert Venditti and artist Aaron Lopresti.
In "Doing Damage (Part 1): Scuttled," Ethan—now known as Damage—returns to the Burrow, the military facility where his transformation began, driven by a desperate need to destroy it before it can harm anyone else. As the Justice League arrives to stop him, the line between protector and threat blurs in a tense confrontation that sets the stage for what’s to come. Written by Robert Venditti and illustrated by Aaron Lopresti, with inks by Matt Ryan, colors by Hi-Fi, and letters by Tom Napolitano, the issue’s cover by Tony S. Daniel and Danny Miki captures the weight of that pivotal moment.
Ethan, still reeling from his last transformation into Damage, finds himself trapped in a hospital with nowhere to run—until the Unknown Soldier appears, offering a dangerous lifeline. With Colonel Jonas and her agents closing in, their escape becomes a desperate race through the shadows, where every step risks exposing the truth behind Ethan’s power.
Ethan, known as Damage, returns to the Burrow—the military compound where he was created—with one goal: to tear it down, erasing the source of his suffering. As the Justice League arrives to stop him, the past and present collide in a confrontation that threatens to burn everything to the ground.
In the climactic "Scorched Earth (Conclusion): Hero" from Damage #2, Superman faces off against the unstoppable force of Damage in a battle that pushes both to their limits. With the League at their breaking point, only Deadman’s unexpected intervention offers a chance to halt the destruction — but the true cost of that moment remains unknown.
