Some scars never heal. Some cities never sleep. And some heroes never stop bleeding.
Avery Maddox was just a kid when her little sister vanished into the back of a white van on a sun-washed Los Angeles street. Six years later, Avery's still searching-by day, a worn-down call center rep; by night, the vigilante known only as Hazard. She stalks the broken alleys of Pico-Union, waging a one-woman war against traffickers, dealers, and ghosts that wear human faces.
When her hunt collides with a rising criminal empire led by the ruthless Lobo, Avery finds herself trapped between the city's underbelly and a new threat: a privatized meta-human police force backed by ARGUS Integrated Solutions.
If the streets don't kill her, the system will.
But Avery doesn't stop.
She can't.
Because somewhere out there, Elena's still waiting-and Hazard was born to find her.
Perfect for fans of gritty street-level hero fiction like Jessica Jones, The Punisher, and The Dark Knight, Hazard is the first Crucible Comics Universe novel-a raw, human story about trauma, justice, and what happens when ordinary people refuse to stay broken.
