Signed by Mikey Way, and Shaun Simon. Autograph certification from Midtown comics is included.

Written by Mikey Way and Shaun Simon. Art by Ilias Kyriazis. Cover by Nick Derington. There's a voice in the head of Liam James questioning everything he does-from his job at the nursing home to keeping his relationship with his girlfriend afloat. Liam suffers from anxiety, and the only thing that quiets it is music, which makes a weekly DJ gig his one saving grace. But Liam's life changes forever when he receives a black hole in the mail (yes, you read that right), one that takes up residence in his chest, grants him insane superpowers, turns him into a celebrity and draws him into a cosmic conflict beyond his wildest imagination. Where did this black hole come from? Why Liam? Is power the cure? Or will superstardom turn Liam into a black hole himself? Find out in COLLAPSER, a superhero story that could only come from DC's Young Animal! 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $3.99.
