Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore absolutely demolished expectations with the loser-to-bruiser mini-series The Strange Talent of Luther Strode. Now they and their masked juggernaut are back for the next chapter with this week’s The Legend of Luther Strode #1. The lanky teenager we met a year ago has more than mastered the training techniques from that mail order fitness program. He bulked up and lost nearly everything he cared about in the process. Five years on, the legend of his abilities–and just how he’s putting them to violent use–has spread. Who’s taken an active interest in our troubled hero, and what is their endgame?
We spoke to writer Justin Jordan about the method to the mayhem. What does he hope to say about the ubiquity of violence in comics and about power fantasies in general? What does tomorrow hold for Luther and those he loves? Hold a bag of frozen peas to your noggin and press play.
