Icon: A Hero's Welcome

In 1996, Dwayne McDuffie and M. D. Bright introduced a bold new hero to the DC Universe with Icon: A Hero's Welcome. This single-issue debut from DC Comics reimagined the classic alien-stranded-on-Earth origin through a uniquely thoughtful lens, grounding its super-powered lead in a distinctly human and socially conscious story. While brief, it stands as a vital piece of the Milestone Media legacy, showcasing McDuffie's knack for blending cosmic action with sharp character work.
