Leaving Megalopolis

Gail Simone and J. Calafiore's Leaving Megalopolis is a two-issue miniseries from Dark Horse (2014–2017) that flips the superhero script, centering on ordinary survivors trapped in a city overrun by its own corrupted, murderous heroes. A tense, character-driven horror thriller, it matters for its unflinching deconstruction of the genre and the raw, visceral storytelling from this acclaimed creative team.
