Discover the tortured psyche of a superhero in Translucid, a story from Coheed and Cambria frontman Claudio Sanchez and co-creator Chondra Echert, the writers behind The Amory Wars saga, Key of Z, and Kill Audio. The psychedelic superhero mindscape is brought to vivid life by artist Daniel Bayliss and colorist Adam Metcalfe. We call The Navigator a hero. We call The Horse a villain. The two have been locked in a battle for years, fighting for the soul of New York City. But are they just two sides of the same playing card? Translucid is a startling deconstruction of the classic bond between a hero and his villain, and shows what it takes to push a person to take up either mantle. Translucid TP collects the entire miniseries, issues #1-6.
