Luke Cage Epic Collection #1

In a prison where hope is scarce, Lucas volunteers for a risky medical experiment seeking parole—only to be betrayed by a violent guard who sabotages the procedure. The resulting transformation grants him steel-hard skin, turning him into a man with a new purpose: to confront Stryker, the friend who framed him and whose actions led to the death of Reva, the woman he loved.

In "Mark of the Mace!", Luke Cage stands firm against the rogue Colonel Mace, a former military man turned extremist whose plan threatens to plunge New York City into chaos. With Mace's violent agenda targeting Wall Street, Cage must confront both the man and the ideology driving him—before the city is torn apart.

In "Cry Fear... Cry Phantom!", the long-burning rivalry between two families escalates when one member dons a mysterious guise to exact vengeance. When a desperate act of self-destruction triggers a fatal chain reaction, the line between revenge and ruin blurs in a harrowing descent from a skyscraper’s heights.

In "Crescendo!", Luke Cage takes on a high-stakes job tracking down thieves who've stolen sensitive data from Dr. Doom—only to discover the genius tyrant vanished without a trace, leaving Luke with nothing but a $200 fee and a mountain of unanswered questions.

In "Chemistro!", Luke Cage takes on a high-stakes security job guarding Mainstream Motors, only to face off against the volatile Chemistro. When the villain’s alchemy gun malfunctions mid-battle, it leads to a bizarre accident—and a tense confrontation with a reporter, Phil Fox, who sees a chance to exploit Cage’s past.
