BOOM! Studios’ new comic The Center Holds introduces a new superhero universe and ponders what it takes to be a hero. Written by Larry Hama and illustrated by the late M.D. “Doc” Bright, the series is set in a world where superheroes are so prevalent that they must join a union or be held responsible for the damage they cause while fighting villains.

“Enter the Superheroes’ Union: A team-up of genius Scyber, psychic Lakshmi, the mysterious Keeper, and child prodigy Nekkotron, among others, as they battle villains and bureaucracy alike,” per the synopsis. “And though the delicate balance of mitigating damage while saving lives is already tough enough, they’ve got their own worries with a constant stream of villains rising up to challenge them.”

The first issue features covers by Bright, Joe Quinones, Khary Randolph, and Chuck Patton.

BOOM! and Hama are donating 2% of the net sales for The Center Holds to the Hero Initiative in memory of Bright.

The Center Holds #1 will be sold in comic shops on February 11.
