Collection: Blackout – Dark Horse Comics – (2014) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–4

📘 Series Summary

Expanding the bold Project Black Sky universe, Blackout is a high-stakes sci-fi thriller written by Frank Barbiere (Five Ghosts) with gritty, detailed artwork by Colin Lorimer. The story follows Scott Travers, a man in possession of a high-tech suit that allows him to phase into a shadowy parallel dimension, rendering him invisible and untouchable in our world. The only problem? Scott has no idea how the suit works or where it truly came from.

With his benefactor missing and a host of lethal "unfriendlies"—including plasma-cannon-wielding armored soldiers—determined to reclaim the gear, Scott must master the suit’s dimension-jumping capabilities before he becomes "dead weight." This four-issue limited series also features a special King Tiger backup story by Star Wars veterans Randy Stradley and Doug Wheatley, further deepening the occult and technological lore of the Dark Horse superhero revival.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• A key title in Dark Horse’s Project Black Sky initiative, connecting to titles like X, Captain Midnight, and Ghost.
• Features a breakout story from Frank Barbiere, known for his imaginative world-building and character-driven sci-fi.
• Includes a special King Tiger feature, reintroducing the fan-favorite mystic warrior to modern readers.
• Showcases striking cover art by Micah Kaneshiro and a notable 1-for-20 variant by Paolo Rivera.
• A fast-paced, "man on the run" narrative that expertly blends superhero tropes with interdimensional horror.
• A complete 4-issue limited series that provides a perfect entry point into Dark Horse’s modern superhero continuity.
