Bedlam

In the early 2010s, Image Comics published Bedlam, an 11-issue series written by Nick Spencer that reimagines the superhero genre through a darkly psychological lens. The story centers on a reformed super-villain, once known as the Madder, who now works to prevent chaos in a world haunted by his past atrocities. With moody, expressive art from Riley Rossmo and Ryan Browne, the series explores themes of redemption, mental illness, and the thin line between heroism and villainy. Bedlam stands out as a tense, character-driven thriller that challenges conventional comic book morality.
