Set in the seedy streets of Vandal City, one man rises against the ruin with a rebel yell.

A washed up poor sidekick comes out of retirement when a superhero grant is announced, just in time to battle a world ending cosmic threat.

After 8 years in hiding, Challenger has returned to bring down the men responsible for injustices to his city, who also happen to be responsible for his super powered origin!

Years ago, the world’s greatest hero, The Armored Champion, faced his ultimate nemesis, Gorrlath, in an epic battle that shook the planet—and won. But in the aftermath of his greatest victory, he vanished without a trace. Stranger still, only half the world remembers him, while the other half insists he never existed. Now, years later, a relentless journalist and his daring daughter set out to solve the enigma of The Armored Champion. Their quest for answers pulls them into a web of forgotten histories, fractured memories, and shadowy forces determined to keep the truth buried. As they chase whispers of the past across dangerous, uncharted territories, they uncover a mystery far more dangerous than they ever imagined—one that could redefine heroes, villains, and the very fabric of reality. Time is running out, and the closer they get to the truth, the more the world around them begins to unravel.

The Beacon of peace around the globe!

Beacon City breathes corruption. And something is hunting in the rain. The DOVR Act didn’t save the city—it chained its protectors and unleashed the monsters. Three years after Fallout™’s arrest for an assassination that tore the world apart, the streets pulse with terror: shadows that slither and strike, brutes that crush bone without mercy, hackers who weaponize the grid itself. Every alley hides a blade. Every deal seals a grave. The Coalition clings to survival—a ragged band of outlawed powers risking execution to tear open the conspiracy. But trust is fracturing: Nowcaster storms with blind faith in Fallout’s innocence, thunder cracking his resolve. War Talon (Martin Woods)—the billionaire who preaches robotic salvation by day—stalks alone at night, armored in cutting-edge fury, haunted by doubt that the greatest hero might have truly fallen… and that joining this crew could drag him into the abyss. Backed by a thrill-hungry hunter, a mystic who drowns enemies in sorrow, and a drone-eyed watcher who sees too much, they hunt answers in a city that devours questions. But the shadows hunt back. Footsteps echo in empty halls. Phones go dead. Lights die. And when the chase begins, there’s no elevator down—only a stairwell closing like jaws. Visceral. Unforgiving. Superhero noir where every revelation cuts deeper, every alliance teeters on betrayal, and the truth waits in the dark with a sledgehammer raised. Pete Gehring’s The Coalition™—for fans of The Boys, Invincible, Watchmen, and The X-Files. One wrong step, and the city claims you. Issue #1 drops you into the nightmare. Dare to run?
