The Forevers

In The Forevers (2016–2018, Black Mask Studios), writer Curt Pires and artist Eric Scott Pfeiffer craft a five-issue miniseries that reimagines the superhero origin as a dark, modern myth. The story follows a group of young people who gain powers after a mysterious event, only to find their newfound abilities come with a crushing, existential price. Published during Black Mask Studios’ rise as a home for bold, indie genre work, this series stands out for its raw, philosophical take on fame, legacy, and the cost of becoming something greater.
