Reflex

In the late 1980s, writer-artist Harry Messerschmidt launched Reflex through Virt, a short-lived but distinctive three-issue series that stands as a singular, self-contained vision in independent comics. The series explores a world where a mysterious phenomenon grants individuals extraordinary abilities, forcing them to confront the blurred line between power and consequence. Messerschmidt’s tight, moody artwork and lean storytelling give Reflex a raw, atmospheric feel that captures the era’s underground comic ethos. Though brief, it remains a cult touchstone for fans of creator-driven, offbeat superhero narratives.
