Suicide Risk

In Suicide Risk (2013–2016), Boom! Studios launched a taut six-issue miniseries that reimagines the superhero genre through a gritty, psychological lens. Crafted with shifting visual moods by artists including Stephanie Hans, Tommy Lee Edwards, and Elena Casagrande, the story follows police officers who are granted extraordinary abilities by a mysterious source—powers that come with a dangerous, self-destructive cost. This series stands out for its noir-inflected take on superhuman ethics, questioning what heroism means when every ability carries a ticking clock.
