“The Golden Age of superheroes was known for engaging with the history happening around it. Kismet brings that into our era, taking on the history we’re living through with a gripping narrative about the uses of power.” – Al Ewing (Mighty Avengers, Dr. Who)

Kismet was the world’s first Muslim superhero, fighting Nazis behind enemy lines in WWII. Then, he disappeared. Gone without a trace… until now. Back from beyond, Kismet finds a new world of advanced technology and equal rights still fighting against the same old evils of bigotry, greed and ignorance.

Kismet, Man of Fate is everything a superhero comic should be; exciting, accessible, and genuinely inspiring. A. David Lewis and Noel Tuazon have created a story that manages to feel both fresh and classic at the same time, populated with characters you will either recognize instantly or urgently wish to know. Thoroughly modern, deeply rooted in history and luminous with moral authority, Kismet is back just when we need him most.” – Devin Grayson (Batman: Gotham Knights, Black Widow)

“At a time where everyone is looking for the next superhero smash, Kismet sets a new bar at how aggressively, frighteningly, and unrelentlessly modern you can make them. Written with a boldness of ambition that puts mainstream publishers to shame, Kismet proves as eye-opening to superhero fans as it is inspirational for anyone believing they might be over the genre.” – Pornsak Pichetshote (Infidel)
