Collection: Blue Flame – Vault Comics – (2021–2022) – Volume 1 – Limited Series - #1–10

📘 Series Summary

From the mind of acclaimed writer Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Halt and Catch Fire) and artist Adam Gorham, Blue Flame is a genre-bending masterpiece that weaves together cosmic space opera and grounded, gritty realism. The story follows Sam Brausam, a blue-collar HVAC repairman in Milwaukee who moonlights as a DIY vigilante. In a parallel narrative—or perhaps a fractured psyche—The Blue Flame is also a cosmic hero standing trial before a universal tribunal to prove that humanity is worth saving from extinction.

After a horrific mass shooting leaves Sam physically and mentally shattered, the boundaries between his identities blur. While he struggles with PTSD, addiction, and recovery on Earth, his cosmic counterpart must build a case for the survival of the human race. This 10-issue limited series is a profound exploration of trauma, the search for meaning in a chaotic universe, and the heavy burden of being a "hero" in two very different worlds. As the trial reaches its conclusion, Sam must confront the darkness of his own life to prove that there is still a light worth fighting for.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• A sophisticated, dual-narrative structure that masterfully transitions between urban vigilantism and high-concept cosmic drama.
• Features the detailed and emotive artwork of Adam Gorham, perfectly capturing both the grime of Milwaukee and the vastness of space.
• Includes stunning variant covers from top-tier talent like Christian Ward and Yoshi Yoshitani.
• A deeply human story that tackles heavy themes of PTSD, recovery, and societal violence with empathy and intelligence.
• Celebrated as one of Vault Comics' most critically acclaimed titles, bridging the gap between indie sensibilities and superhero traditions.
• A complete 10-issue arc that provides a definitive and moving conclusion to Sam Brausam's journey.
