Why You Should Be Reading “Noble,” Lion Forge’s Flagship Black Hero

[divider type=”space_thin”]It happens — sometimes a great comic book series launches and you miss it. You’re an issue or two behind. You’re not perfect. Other times you hear about a new comic and you forget about it, or just don’t get around to buying or reading. Or you may just be someone who is looking for something new to read every month, someone who wants to add to their pull list, or maybe you’re that person in the room who wanted something fresh in the superhero genre of comics. whoever you are, I’ve got something for you: Lion Forge’s Noble. If you’re unfamiliar with The Catalyst Prime setup, the backstory is this: Astronaut David Powell was on a team with five other astronauts who took on the suicide mission of destroying an asteroid before it could collide and wipe out all life on Earth. While the team succeeded, Dave was affected by losing his memories and also gaining the ability of telekinesis. Back on Earth he is on the run from those who would use him for nefarious reasons, haunted by the family in his memories and working to keep moving and keep going. While he does this he lives under aliases and finds ways to earn his keep and help people who need it, all while his powers grow. If you needed a tagline of sorts you could go with this: “The first Catalyst Prime title, Noble, will focus on an African-American superhero named David Powell and his attempts to reconnect with his family after a supernatural accident.”
