Mighty Samson #1
This volume collects the 2012 Dark Horse miniseries Mighty Samson: Judgment, written by Jim Shooter with art by Patrick Olliffe. The story follows Samson, a superhuman survivor in a post-apocalyptic world, as he confronts a new threat that challenges his role as protector of the N'Yark tribe. It's a standalone arc within the revived Mighty Samson series, offering a complete narrative for fans of the classic Gold Key character.
In the post-apocalyptic world of Jerz, a new child queen demands greater tribute from the N'Yark tribe—setting off a chain of events that begins with the birth of a boy of unmatched strength, named Samson. Written by Jim Shooter and J. C. Vaughn and illustrated by Patrick Olliffe, Mighty Samson #1 launches with a powerful origin story, blending survival, legacy, and the weight of destiny. Cover by Raymond Swanland captures the raw intensity of a world where one boy’s strength may be the last hope for his people.
In a post-apocalyptic future, the young queen of Jerz demands heavier tribute from the N’Yark tribe, sparking a violent clash that leaves a newborn child—Samson—marked by destiny. Nineteen years later, Samson returns to his people, ready to defend them, only to face a brutal confrontation that will test his strength and his heart.
In "Judgment Part Two: Deliver Us From Evil," Samson ventures into enemy territory after the Jerz attack the N'Yark compound, rescuing Esmay only to learn her family has been taken. With Esmay's daughters, Angel and Peaches, held captive, Samson surrenders to the Jerz, determined to confront Queen Terra and free the enslaved. The story unfolds with tense confrontations and shifting loyalties as Samson faces the queen's forces and grapples with the truth behind the Jerz's motives.
In "Judgment Part Three: Treachery," Sunder uncovers a hidden tech nexus from the 22nd century’s fall, awakening the Bio-gen Operations Brain-Bot (BOBB) to forge a monstrous ally. With the beast at his command, Sunder seizes control of N'Yark, forcing Samson into a desperate retreat—only for Angel and Peaches to hide him from Sunder’s forces. When Samson comes to, he knows he can’t face Sunder alone and turns to Queen Terra for aid.
