Black Summer

Warren Ellis and Juan José Ryp launch a brutal, high-concept series for Bragelonne in 2009, imagining a world where a superhero publicly assassinates the President of the United States. This single-issue debut, Black Summer, sets up a relentless exploration of violence, morality, and the cost of absolute power, with Ryp’s hyper-detailed, visceral art amplifying Ellis’s signature dystopian edge. It stands as a stark, uncompromising entry in the modern superhero genre.
