Plutona

A five-issue limited series from Image Comics, Plutona follows a group of suburban kids who stumble upon the body of a dead superhero in the woods, a discovery that upends their ordinary lives. Written by Jeff Lemire and illustrated by Emi Lenox, the story blends the gritty, grounded tone of a coming-of-age drama with the fantastical implications of a fallen icon. It matters as a poignant, character-driven exploration of childhood, mortality, and the quiet heroism found in everyday relationships.
