The story, titled 'Sins of the Father,' brings Dr. Noah Burstein back into the picture, forcing Luke to confront unresolved issues from his past while dealing with a fresh threat in Harlem.
Luke Cage #1 (2017) kicks off with the solemn funeral of Dr. Noah Burstein, the scientist who once granted Luke Cage his powers, only to uncover a troubling revelation: Dr. Lenore Mornay reveals that other subjects of Burstein’s experiments are now suffering severe, unexplained side effects. Written by David F. Walker and illustrated by Nelson Blake II, with colors by Marcio Menyz and letters by VC's Joe Sabino, this issue sets a grounded, character-driven tone as Luke confronts the lingering consequences of his own origin. The cover by Rahzzah captures the weight of the moment with striking intensity.
In "null," Luke Cage grapples with the legacy of Dr. Noah Burstein, the man who gave him his powers, after attending his funeral. When Dr. Lenore Mornay reveals that other subjects of Burstein’s experiments are suffering unexpected side effects, Luke is drawn into a mystery that challenges everything he thought he knew about his own transformation.
In "null," Luke Cage finds his famed durability compromised when a mysterious sword draws blood, forcing him to rely on the unexpected help of contract-killer Warhawk. With Dr. Lenore Mornay taken by crime boss Mateo Corello, Cage must navigate a threat that defies his usual strength—where the real danger lies not in the fight, but in what the sword reveals.
