Meltdown

The hero known as Caliente had a normal childhood, except for the dangerously high temperature he always ran. He might have gone on to be a normal adventurer, too, had something not happened that changed him forever. While fighting a team of bad guys, a hostage situation turned out badly, and now Cal’s not sure he’s a hero anymore. He lost his temper, lost control of his powers—and as this comic begins, he’s on the verge of losing his life.

At one time comics were called “grim and gritty” when normal heroes used a little excessive force. What happens, though, when one of those heroes truly goes over the edge? David Schwartz and Sean Wang ask the question in this well-done comic.
