Saffire

In this three-issue Image Comics series from 2000–2001, a young woman discovers she can transform into a powerful, flame-wreathed superhuman—the Saffire—and must navigate a world of corporate intrigue and hidden conspiracies. Created primarily by writer/artist Mat Broome, with additional scripting by Mike Woods and Sean Ruffner and art by Ryan Odagawa, the series blends sleek superhero action with a noir-tinged, sci-fi mystery. Though brief, Saffire stands out as a polished, creator-driven project from Image’s early 2000s era, showcasing Broome’s dynamic visual storytelling and a self-contained arc that captures a moment when the publisher championed original, non-legacy characters.
