EXCITING COMICS #55

In this issue of Exciting Comics, a lonely man yearns to break free from a dull routine and tests the boundaries of his everyday life by fashioning a new alter ego, the Crimson Lion. What begins as a bold experiment in identity quickly spirals into comic misadventure as he aims to terrorize the city he loves, only to discover that villainy is harder than it looks. Crafted by writer Jordan Skyba with the dynamic artwork of Ryan Pasibe and Myke Guisinga, this tale blends noir-tinged pathos with kinetic, punchy action. The cover by Pasibe and Guisinga captures the uneasy charm of a man who overreaches, offering a blend of humor and heart that fits into the Exciting Comics lineage. At 24 pages of sharp storytelling, this issue showcases ideas about self-image, ambition, and the perils of trying to reinvent oneself.
