The Names

In 2015, DC released a single-issue comic by writer Peter Milligan and artist Leandro Fernández that explores the strange, secret world of superhero names. The story follows a man whose job is to assign and protect the codenames of the superpowered, a role that becomes dangerous when his own identity is threatened. This one-shot is a clever, self-contained meditation on the power of names and the hidden bureaucracy behind the capes.
