"You're the one with the fight enhancements. I'm a mere solar-powered alien experiment."
Midnighter and Apollo (2016) is a six issue comic miniseries written by Steve Orlando with art by Fernando Blanco. Its titular characters are Midnighter (75% human, 25% computer, 100% will kick your ass) and Apollo (sun god with a heart of gold). These two are partners in the "crimefighting duo" sense, but also in the "lovers who would go to the ends of the earth for each other" sense. And that's exactly what happens in this title: Apollo is grievously injured, and his soul is trapped in the underworld. It's up to Midnighter to—quite literally—go to hell to save him.
This series is great because it features all the action-packed theatrics of a comic book, coupled with the undying love of a romance novel, all served with a side of banter. If you're into "grumps for sunshine" dynamics, or "murderous man who's soft for his boyfriend," then this is for you.
You can find the trade paperback for purchase here or you can read it online for free here (I recommend adblock). This series follows on nicely from the Midnighter (2015) title however it does stand alone. I will be requesting our two heroes for this fandom!
