About this Collection

This volume continues the 2020 Dial H for Hero series, collecting issues #7–12. It follows Miguel and Summer as they grapple with the consequences of the H-Dial's power, encountering new heroes and threats across Metropolis while exploring the legacy of the device. Written by Sam Humphries with art by various illustrators, the story deepens the mystery of the dials and their connection to the city's hidden history.

In "The New Heroes of Metropolis," Miguel and Summer find themselves on a fractured world where heroes are fused echoes of familiar faces—each a strange, overlapping blend of identities they recognize. When Mister Thunderbolt reveals a shocking truth—that both he and the Operator are actually Robby Reed—Miguel is torn, his trust in the mission shaken. As temptation grows, he reaches for another dial, unleashing four distinct versions of Supermiguel in a moment that redefines what it means to be a hero. Written by Sam Humphries and brought to life by Joe Quinones’ dynamic art and Jordan Gibson’s vivid colors, this issue blends identity, legacy, and the cost of power in a Multiverse where every choice echoes. The cover by Joe Quinones captures the chaos and wonder of the moment.
