When super-villains like Galactoid, Dron the Conqueror, or Professor Kill are defeated, they’re sent to a government maximum security facility. But what about small-timers like Phileas Frost, The Grappler, or the random jump-suited agents of H.A.R.M.? What happens to the bank robbers, jewel thieves, and anonymous henchmen?
They post bail.
And sometimes, they skip town afterward. That’s where Lucy Chase comes in.
Written and lettered by Steve Bryant and drawn by Ismael Canales, with colors by Mireia Gibbau and Roger Surroca, and edited by Chris Murrin, The Catch is a 3-issue miniseries that blends Elmore Leonard-style crime fiction with superheroes.
“The Catch is a superhero crime caper that blends the best of both genres to create something wholly new, engaging and memorable. Bryant, Canales, Surroca, and Murrin expertly weave a story that evokes greats like Elmore Leonard, Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker without feeling like a carbon copy. As someone who enjoys all things noir and super-powered, The Catch is a perfect match.” – Alex Segura, acclaimed author of Secret Identity and Blackout
“The Catch is a great looking book with a fun premise. The team of Bryant, Canales, Surroca, and Murrin have a winner on their hands.” – Jamal Igle, co-creator of The Wrong Earth from Ahoy Comics.
