This collection kicks off the New 52 reimagining of the classic Dial H for Hero concept, following an ordinary man who discovers a mysterious rotary phone that transforms him into a different bizarre superhero with each dial. Written by China Miéville with art by Mateus Santolouco, the volume introduces a surreal, street-level take on superheroics as the protagonist navigates a hidden world of forgotten heroes and cosmic threats.
