Heroveringen

In this Belgian series from Le Lombard, Sylvain Runberg and François Miville-Deschênes explore a world where superheroes are real—and have become a state-sanctioned police force. Launched in 2011, this three-issue run examines the moral compromises and public unease that arise when superpowered beings enforce the law. Miville-Deschênes’s detailed, dynamic art grounds the high-concept premise in a gritty, cinematic reality. Heroveringen offers a thoughtful, European take on the superhero genre, questioning the very idea of vigilantism.
