About the series
In the mid-2000s, Image Comics published Superpatriot: War on Terror, a four-issue series co-written by Robert Kirkman and Benito Cereno, with art by E. J. Su. This short run follows the patriotic, super-powered SuperPatriot and his supporting cast—including Claire Bono, Major Jake Farrell, and the villainous Baron Blitzkrieg—as they navigate a darker, post-9/11 world of espionage and conflict. A key chapter in Kirkman’s early career, it matters for its gritty, politically charged take on the classic superhero archetype, blending action with the anxieties of its era.
