The Torch #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the 2010 Marvel miniseries centered on the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, the android hero from the 1940s. The story explores Hammond's return to a world that has changed dramatically, as he confronts new threats and his own legacy as a living legend of the Marvel Universe. Written by Mike Carey and illustrated by Patrick Berkenkotter, the series delves into the character's history and his place in the modern era.
In this pivotal 2010 issue of The Torch, the dying hero teams up with the mysterious Toro to uncover the truth behind his mother’s death, following a trail that leads to the hidden enclave of New Berlin—a South American refuge for Nazi fugitives. Written by Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, and Mike Carey, with art by Patrick Berkenkotter and colors by Carlos Lopez, the story unfolds with a haunting intensity, its stark visuals brought to life in a cover by Alex Ross that captures the weight of legacy and loss.
Toro [Tom Raymond], still grappling with his return from death, finds himself drawn into a tense confrontation with the Mad Thinker—the very man who killed him years ago. With the alien Vision [Arkus] by his side and the echoes of past betrayals haunting him, Toro must confront a mystery that ties his resurrection to a deeper conspiracy involving AIM and long-buried secrets from his past.
In a story where emotions run as deep as the ocean, Toro urges the Human Torch to feel something beyond flame—while a mysterious force turns both Atlanteans and humans alike into blank-eyed followers. With Reed Richards, Namor, and Betty Brant caught in the haze, the line between mind and memory begins to blur.
The Torch and Toro race against time to uncover the truth behind Toro’s mother’s death, following a trail that leads them to New Berlin—a hidden enclave of Nazi remnants in South America. With the weight of mortality pressing on him, the Human Torch teams up with his old ally, now driven by grief and vengeance, as secrets from the past ignite a dangerous mission.
