About this Collection

This volume continues the 2016 'Second Chances' storyline, collecting issues where Luke Cage navigates his role as a hero and family man in New York City. It features appearances by allies like Iron Fist and Dakota North, as well as clashes with villains such as Dr. Karl Malus and the Tinkerer, while also crossing paths with the Fantastic Four's Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm. The collection deepens Cage's personal and super-powered struggles in a modern Marvel landscape.

In "Sudden Burning," Luke Cage takes on a dangerous mission to rescue Rick Mason, the son of the Tinkerer, from the Corporation—his only lead to finding where they’re holding his father and brother. But when Dr. Karl Malus transforms Cage’s own brother into the fiery Coldfire, the stakes shift in ways that could burn everything down. Written by Marc McLaurin and illustrated by Scott Benefiel, with inks by Frank Turner, colors by Kelly Corvese, and letters by Richard Starkings, the issue’s cover by Dwayne Turner and Chris Ivy captures the intensity of a man caught between loyalty and fire.
