Terminal Hero #1

Peter Milligan brings his signature psychological edge to Dynamite's Terminal Hero #1, a new series that opens with one of the more unsettling first-issue covers of 2014 — Jae Lee's image of a figure tilting their head back while darkly luminous, brain-like tissue erupts and spreads from their skull, cradled by grasping hands against a stark blue backdrop. The visceral imagery sets an immediate tone: this is superhero-adjacent fiction with a body-horror undertow, the kind of thing Milligan has always done so well. If "No More Trouble" is the story's title, the cover suggests trouble of the most deeply personal — and deeply biological — kind is just getting started.
