Idolized #5 (Aspen Comics, 2013)

The finale is here, and the vote is in: Revenge or Redemption?

The explosive conclusion to the "Super-Idol" saga arrives as the televised competition reaches its final broadcast. Joule (Leslie) has successfully navigated the grueling trials, the manufactured drama, and the corporate manipulation to stand as a finalist. However, her true goal was never a recording contract or a spot on a premier superhero team—it was a face-to-face confrontation with St. Elmo.

In this oversized finale, the cameras are rolling when the script goes out the window. Leslie must decide if she will use her newfound platform to become the hero the world wants her to be, or the vigilante she promised herself she would become. David Schwartz delivers a powerful payoff that subverts the traditional superhero ending, offering a poignant look at the consequences of living for the spotlight.
