About the series
In this six-issue Image Comics series from 2012–2013, writer Justin Jordan and artists Tradd Moore and Philippe Bertrand deliver a brutal, hyper-violent origin story for a new kind of superhero. Luther Strode, an ordinary teenager who uses a mail-order bodybuilding program, finds himself transformed into a superhuman force of nature—but his newfound power comes with a terrifying price and a hidden history of bloodshed. The book reimagines the classic "secret origin" with a visceral, modern sensibility, establishing Jordan and Moore as bold new voices in creator-owned comics.
