About the series
In Local Man (2023–2024, Image), a disgraced former superhero named Jack Xaver returns to his rural hometown after a scandal derails his crime-fighting career, only to find that small-town secrets and old enemies are just as dangerous as the villains he once faced. Written and illustrated by Tony Fleecs, this 14-issue series blends gritty superhero action with character-driven drama, all set against the backdrop of a decaying Midwestern community. The series notably revives the Image Comics character ShadowHawk, integrating him into a story that explores redemption, legacy, and the cost of wearing a mask.
