Sons of Fire is a dark, morally complex graphic novel that explores the blurred lines between heroism and villainy through trauma and redemption. The story deals with serious themes including guilt, death, and superhuman elements in a noir-toned narrative. This is sophisticated storytelling better suited to older teens who can engage with its ambiguous moral questions rather than younger readers seeking straightforward hero narratives.

Thirty years ago the town of Black Rock was nearly destroyed by a fire. The arsonist, teenager Jacob Crowe, has kept the truth behind the blaze a secret... until now. The lone survivor of a fire that took his brother and father, Jacob is unable to forgive himself for leaving his family to die. It is only when he discovers his friend Andrew Danner is something more than human that Jacob sees a way toward redemption. But for Andrew, the life of hero risks exposing his secrets to the world, leading him to question his humanity. Together, Andrew and Jacob will begin a dark journey that leads them from the boys they are, to the men they will become; revealing that the difference between heroes and villains are the lines you're willing to cross. Written by award-winning novelist Adam Lance Garcia with art by newcomer Heidi Black, SONS OF FIRE is a dark reimagining of the origin of the superhero, exploring the ambiguity of morality and the violent price of power. Because when evil isn't black and white, even heroes will burn.
