About the series
A four-issue Image series from 2011, Twilight Guardian offers a sly, grounded take on the costumed-crimefighter trope, focusing on a suburban woman whose nightly patrols are more about neighborhood watch than world-saving. Writer and artist Troy Hickman crafts a character-driven story that explores the quiet heroism of an ordinary person trying to make a difference in her community. Its matter-of-fact tone and focus on a relatable, non-superpowered protagonist gave the superhero genre a refreshingly human-scale perspective.
