Ruse

In 2011, Marvel revived the Victorian-era detective series Ruse for a four-issue run, with Mark Waid returning as writer alongside artists Mirco Pierfederici and Minck Oosterveer. This limited series continues the adventures of master detective Simon Archard and his enigmatic partner, Emma Bishop, as they unravel a mystery involving a secret society and a dangerous new invention. Originally published under the CrossGen imprint, this Marvel-published chapter offers a self-contained entry point for new readers while rewarding longtime fans with its clever, atmospheric storytelling.
