A cosmic action adventure for fans
and readers of Watchmen, Strange Adventures, and Hawkeye, The
Blue Flame tells the story of a blue collar working man/DIY
vigilante/cosmic hero, who must defend Earth with an answer to the question:
“Is humanity worth saving?”
Repairman. Vigilante. Cosmic Hero.
The Blue Flame is a cosmic hero. The Blue Flame is a DIY vigilante that fights
crime on the streets of Milwaukee. The Blue Flame is a blue collar HVAC
repairman named Sam Brausam.
In the wake of a horrific tragedy, the boundaries of the Blue Flame’s identity
blur even further. Now, before a universal trial, the Blue Flame must prove
that humanity is worth saving. But in order to do that, Sam Brausam has to save
himself. Can he? An odyssey for answers at the heart of the universe.
Collects the entire ten-issue series.
"...a thought-provoking saga that transcends the usual genre
clichés." -- Publishers Weekly
“The Blue Flame …is a triumph” -- SYFY Wire
"A perfect 10." -- Comics Bookcase
“…one of the most thought-provoking stories in comics all year.” – SYFY
Wire
"...a vital modern superhero story." -- Comicbook.com
“With a rich, multifaceted narrative (it touches on, among other reference
points, Birdman and Strange Adventures), the book
is a gripping exploration of why people become heroes, and what that ultimately
means in every sense (logistical, emotional, philosophical, etc.)” – AIPT
“…an intriguing and rich read…” – Comics Bookcase
“The Blue Flame … is a supremely confident, deliberate,
and interesting comic. Every element of craft in this book is not only
well-done but deployed in a way that serves a greater unified narrative, one
that gets at the heart of the intersection of the fantastic and the tragic.
It’s brilliant work. 10/10.” – Comics Bookcase
“If you like brilliant art and clever storytelling this is one to pick up.”
– Comic Watch
“The Blue Flame … presents a crisscrossing narrative that pays
homage to Silver Age comics and sci-fi serials, setting up a mystery that
crosses time and space. Comic fans old and new should give this title a read,
as it presents classic tropes in a fresh new way. [It] has also raised a set of
questions that will keep readers … hooked.” – But Why Tho?
“… a compelling narrative …” -- Gate Crashers
