Tim Corrigan's Superhero Comics #5

In a grim prison cell, Tyran awaits exile to the savage planet Fantasm, sentenced without trial for murder he claims he didn’t commit. When his jailer arrives to escort him to the president, Tyran makes a desperate break for freedom—only to be swiftly recaptured. Flashbacks reveal the truth: a peaceful political speech turned deadly when the president’s agents attacked the crowd, and Tyran, defending others, killed one in self-defense. Now, faced with exile, he must confront the cost of that moment—and the system that condemned him.

In "Messenger," a young man named Jason Godwinn balances his civilian life with his secret identity as a hero, riding his new motorcycle to a concert with his friend Frank. When a purse snatcher strikes during the drive, the Messenger intervenes without revealing himself to Jason’s date. The night takes a turn when Frank is arrested at the concert for possession, leading Jason to investigate the next day as the Messenger—tracking down the real culprit and fighting to clear his friend’s name.
