Midlife (Or How to Hero at Fifty)

(Image, 2023-2024)

Ruben Kwan is a 50-year-old firefighter who's been afraid of fire his whole life. Instead of running into burning buildings, he pushes papers, living in the shadow of his father—who died a hero on the job. After 25 years in the LAFD, he's firmly in the middle of an unremarkable life... until his new wife gets pregnant and a random act of courage reveals that Ruben is Fireproof!
New York Times-bestselling writer Brian Buccellato (No/one, The Flash, Chicken Devil) teams up with star artist Stefano Simeone (The Last Days Of Black Hammer, Radiant Black) to tell the totally relatable (sometimes cringey) story of a middle-aged dad who's about to find out that his new powers have major strings attached.
