Idolized # 4 (Aspen Comics 2012) Variant Cover B

Idolized #4 (Aspen Comics, 2012) Variant Edition (Cover B)

The spotlight is blinding, but the target is finally coming into focus.

In the penultimate chapter of the "Super-Idol" saga, the televised competition has become a pressure cooker. Joule (Leslie) is now one of the final contestants, but the emotional weight of her secret mission—avenging her parents' deaths at the hands of the villain St. Elmo—is threatening to crack her polished public persona. As the producers push for more manufactured conflict to drive up ratings, the reality of the situation becomes increasingly lethal.

This issue explores the high cost of fame and the danger of letting a personal vendetta play out on a global stage. David Schwartz and Micah Gunnell continue their masterful deconstruction of the superhero mythos, delivering a story that is as much about the corruption of the media as it is about superhuman abilities.
