Fire Power by Kirkman and Samnee Volume 1

Prelude

Published: 2020
Language: English

Owen Johnson once trained to wield the Fire Power, an ancient force said to belong to the one destined to save the world — but he turned his back on that path to raise a family in peace. This first volume traces how Owen's carefully built normal life starts unraveling as old enemies and unseen forces close in, dragging him back toward a destiny he never wanted.

Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee build a martial-arts-inflected origin story that spends this opening volume in flashback, tracing Owen's training and the choices that led him to reject his own power.
