About the series
Set during the Golden Age of Marvel, this 2009-2010 miniseries from Mike Carey, Alex Ross, and Jim Krueger reunites the original Human Torch, Jim Hammond, with a world that has moved on without him. With art by Patrick Berkenkotter and Anthony Tan, the story explores the legacy of a synthetic man struggling to find his place in a modern Marvel Universe that has long since been shaped by his successors. A thoughtful, character-driven superhero drama, it matters for giving one of Marvel's earliest icons a poignant and action-packed spotlight.
