BOOM! Studios has announced plans to publish legendary writer Larry Hama and the late M.D. “Doc” Bright’s final work, The Center Holds. A superhero series that questions the very nature of what it means to be a hero in a giant-sized first issue.
A new superhero universe is born!
In a world where superheroes have become commonplace, heroes are required to join a union or else face serious financial liability for the damage caused during battles.
Enter the Superheroes’ Union: A team-up of genius Scyber, psychic Lakshmi, the mysterious Keeper, and child prodigy Nekkotron, among others, as they battle villains and bureaucracy alike.
And though the delicate balance of mitigating damage while saving lives is already tough enough, they’ve got their own worries with a constant stream of villains rising up to challenge them.
BOOM! Studios and Larry Hama are proud to be donating 2% of net sales from The Center Holds to The Hero Initiative in honour of M.D. “Doc” Bright’s memory and legacy.
The first issue in the series features covers by M.D. “Doc” Bright, Joe Quinones, Khary Randolph, and Chuck Patton. Take a look at a short preview from The Center Holds #1 below:
The Center Holds #1 will be available in comic shops February 11, 2026. It is available for pre-order at your local comic shop. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
