Black Summer Review: Superb! - I enjoy graphic novels but I was never much into superheroe comics--with the exception of Kirkman's Invincible--until this whole super anti-hero genre started taking off...titles like The Watchmen, Irredeemable, The Boys, etc. Black Summer falls within this group and is great! The United States of America is exposed for the corrupt, morally bankrupt behemoth it is by John Horus, America's most dangerous superhero, who takes out the president and VP and holds the country accountable by demanding new elections. What's left of the govt. and the military responds by going after the remaining members of Horus' team of gun-enhanced supes, setting the stage for largescale slaughter and mayhem. Great stuff! The artwork is stunningly detailed and reminds me a lot of an Image title I used to read and miss dearly, Trencher. Review: Entertaining ride but not enough follow through - The premise is brilliant. In 2006 a superhero kills the President of the United States citing the Iraq War and stolen elections. His teammates find themselves hunted by the army as the U.S. descends into chaos. Ellis does a good job of quickly introducing his original superheroes and setting up their premise. Juan Jose Ryp's art is kinetic and fun, he does great gunfights and explosions and Ellis makes sure he has plenty of chances to do both. The heroes have an interesting modern design based more on motorcross suits and military uniforms than superhero spandex. So Black Summer is quite a bit of fun. But the promise is never fulfilled. there's no real time spent on how people on the street are reacting, we don't even hear who is running the country with the President and VP dead (legally it would be Speaker of the House but it's never mentioned). We get a line or two about riots or fighting within the military but nothing definite. Despite the inflammatory premise Bush is never named or shown and not much detail about what drove the hero to kill him. So we end up with an exciting, well-drawn story of high tech heroes vs the US Army and each other but not much substance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1592910521 | | Best Sellers Rank | #272,051 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,271 in Science Fiction Graphic Novels (Books) #3,104 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (88) | | Dimensions | 6.5 x 0.4 x 10.1 inches | | Edition | Original ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9781592910526 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1592910526 | | Item Weight | 14.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of Series | Black Summer | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | October 7, 2008 | | Publisher | Avatar Press | | Reading age | 16 years and up | ## Images ![Black Summer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-P-cHC5TL.jpg) ![Black Summer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lHwwgoulL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb! *by T***I on May 15, 2012* I enjoy graphic novels but I was never much into superheroe comics--with the exception of Kirkman's Invincible--until this whole super anti-hero genre started taking off...titles like The Watchmen, Irredeemable, The Boys, etc. Black Summer falls within this group and is great!

Tons of action which starts out from page 1 in a shocker. Pick it up for sure. ## Frequently Bought Together - Black Summer - No Hero - Supergod --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66576397-black-summer](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66576397-black-summer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
