Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore’s Luther Strode returns this April in “The Strange Talent of Luther Strode.” Which sees the finale of their incredible series of stories, and teases a gigantic battle of bloodlust unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. If you’ve been impressed with Tradd Moore’s offerings in Marvel’s “Ghost Rider.” Strode was the book that allowed him to craft his insane layouts. While Justin Jordan is no stranger to visceral, action packed storytelling, Strode was a culmination of all his knowledge working at CBR as a reporter for years.
Luther was your typical nerd, scrawny, clumsy, has glasses and is a target for bullies. Luther lived with his very timid mother and had one best friend, Pete. Luther’s new life started with a book. Desperate to finally get some respect, girls and get the bullies off his back he ordered “The Hercules Method.” His miracle book instructs the reader to: “…focus the mind, body and spirit towards one goal. By bring all three into alignment, the physical enthusiast can bring all of them under conscious control.” Unbeknownst by Luther practicing this he has developed some strange talents; incredible reflexes, a danger sense and strength.
Justin Jordan (SPREAD, LUTHER STRODE) and Tradd Moore (LUTHER STRODE, All New Ghost Rider) reunite for LEGACY OF LUTHER STRODE, the final chapter in the popular LUTHER STRODE trilogy, set to launch from Image Comics on April 1.
For five years, Luther Strode and Petra have been on the run. Now the time for running is over, and the Murder Cult is going down. The road to Cain starts here in the double-sized debut of LEGACY OF LUTHER STRODE #1.
“This is what we’ve been building to. All those questions? They get answered here,” said Jordan. “This is Luther Strode taken worldwide. We’re going bigger, crazier and bloodier than before, and there’s no guarantees anyone is making it out alive.”
Readers first met Luther Strode in THE STRANGE TALENT OF LUTHER STRODE. Just an average nerd, Luther Strode sends away for a bodybuilding course from an old comic book—one that ends up working a lot better than he ever imagined. Though his newfound strength and strange talents make school a lot easier, they’ve also caused some very, very bad people to take a very, very keen interest in him.
In the follow-up, THE LEGEND OF LUTHER STRODE, Luther became more than a nightmare for the evil men in his city… he became a legend. He found himself hunted by a legendary killer and ended up with a measure of redemption and a new mission in life: stop the people that made him what he is.
LEGACY OF LUTHER STRODE takes Petra and Luther across the world, from Russia to Hong Kong to some place east of Eden, hunting for the man who started all of this: Cain himself. The story ends here.
The double-sized LEGACY OF LUTHER STRODE #1 will land in stores on April 1and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code FEB150498.
