WHY BOOM! LOVES IT: Here at BOOM!, we ve never shied away from exploring the dark crevices of the superhero genre that other publishers can t. From Mark Waid s IRREDEEMABLE to Mike Carey s SUICIDE RISK, we love finding new ways to push the boundaries of our medium's favorite genre.

WHY YOU LL LOVE IT: BLACK MARKET mixes the visceral noir/pulp sensibilities of Frank J. Barbiere s FIVE GHOSTS and Victor Santos FILTHY RICH with a truly modern take on superhero mythos. If you love Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips work on Sleeper like we do, this series is for you.

WHAT S IT ABOUT: Ray Willis is a broken man, a disgraced medical examiner making ends meet by preparing corpses at a funeral parlor. His scientific genius is being wasted...that is, until his estranged criminal brother Denny shows up on his doorstep, supposedly cleaned-up and proposing a once-in-a-lifetime partnership to cure not just cancer, but all disease. The catch? It exists within the DNA of superheroes.
