Last Born

A bold, socially charged sci-fi thriller from Black Mask Studios, Last Born (2014–present) reimagines the superhero origin as a story of systemic injustice. The series follows a young black man who gains extraordinary powers after a police shooting, forcing him to navigate a world where his abilities are both a gift and a target. Written by a creative team known for its political edge, the series uses its four-issue run to explore power, race, and the cost of becoming a symbol. It stands as a provocative, indie-published take on the genre that prioritizes real-world resonance over escapism.
