Overview
Florespark has problems ordinary cops can't solve. That's what Alphacore is for. From Bane co-creator Chuck Dixon, the debut of the Rippaverse's tactical superhero police series. Created by Eric July.
Florespark, Texas has a problem ordinary cops can't handle, and Alphacore is the unit that takes those calls. Bryan Solari and his team handle the cases regular police can't—hostage situations, metahuman threats, the things that need someone who can fly to walk in the door.
But the badge gets heavier when you have powers, and the politics, paperwork, and personal cost come with the territory. The debut establishes the unit, its people, and the city that needs them—superhero action with a procedural backbone.
The first issue of the Alphacore series, created by Eric July and written by Bane co-creator Chuck Dixon—the entry point to a corner of the Rippaverse that runs through the Definitive Alphacore collection, The Great War of Separation, and the Exclave event.
For new readers who want the cops-with-capes corner of the Rippaverse, this is the entry point; for collectors, it's the debut issue of one of the line's pillar teams, written by one of the most prolific writers in comics.
From writer Chuck Dixon—co-creator of Bane and the writer behind landmark runs on Batman, The Punisher, Nightwing, and Conan—bringing his signature grounded, character-driven action to the Rippaverse. Created by Eric July.
