Rising Stars #5

A striking ensemble of powered individuals crowds the cover of this fifth volume from Delcourt's French-language edition of Rising Stars, with one figure draped dramatically in an American flag standing at the center of a tense, brooding group portrait. The weight of shared destiny is written across every face here — scarred, wary, defiant — capturing the series' grounded, human approach to superpowered beings perfectly. With J. Michael Straczynski, Fiona Avery, and Brent Anderson credited, this 2020 collected edition subtitled Intouchable is a compelling entry point into one of the more thoughtful superhero sagas in modern comics.
