A Happy Superhero Snaps in Upcoming Comic TORRENT #1

This February, Marc Guggenheim (X-Men Gold) and Justin Greenwood (The Old Guard: Tales Through Time) will introduce superhero fans to Michelle Metcalf in Torrent. This new comic series, published by Image Comics, follows the superhero Crackerjack as their life is turned dark thanks to some tragedy. We have a small preview below and it looks intense and incredible. I love the art and I’m excited to read it.

Michelle Metcalf is the world’s most happy-go-lucky hero—Crackerjack—until tragedy forces her to cross the line from hero… to vigilante.

Talking about the new series and character, Guggenheim said:

I’m thrilled to be working with Justin Greenwood again and to returning to the world of creator-owned super-heroes—but with a twist: A character-driven story that forces us to question what really makes a hero. With this series, Justin and I are striving to break new ground by reinventing and revisiting old tropes. And Justin’s kinetic art is second to none.

Greenwood added:

Michelle gets dragged through hell and back, pitting her against all levels of villains and heroes alike! It has been insanely fun to draw a super-hero book overflowing with action, not to mention getting to team up with so many of my pals and frequent collaborators. Marc has built a rich world of incredible characters and we are having a blast putting them through the meat grinder. It’s exactly the kind of vicious, kinetic comic I’d been champing at the bit to draw, and it looks amazing thanks to Rico’s bold colors and Keith’s great design.

Fans can look forward to reading Torrent #1 from their local comic shops on February 15. The main and variant cover are done by Greenwood and Rico Renzi.
