About the series
In The Birth of Super Ray (2010, IDW), writer Jonathan Ames and artist Dean Haspiel explore the origins of an unlikely superhero through a single, self-contained issue. This standalone story serves as a character-driven introduction to a new kind of hero, grounded in the creators' shared sensibility for offbeat, human-scaled drama. A compact yet resonant debut, it matters as a showcase of how a single comic can establish a fresh mythos without the need for an ongoing series.
