The Hero Trade

Matt Kindt and David Lapham teamed up for this Bad Idea one-shot, a taut, self-contained thriller that plays on the high-stakes world of secret identities. In a single issue, it explores the dangerous trade of superhero personas, asking what happens when the mask is up for sale. Kindt’s clever script and Lapham’s gritty, expressive art make it a sharp, standalone entry in the publisher’s lineup.
