Luke Cage #1
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.
