"Black Summer" is regarded as the first series in Warren Ellis's Avatar-published "Superhuman Trilogy" dealing with the creation of superheroes. The subsequent series being "No Hero", and "Supergod". Prior to "Supergod"'s release, Warren Ellis said in an interview that, ""Black Summer" was about superhumans who were too human. "No Hero" was about superhumans who were inhuman. "Supergod" is about superhumans who are no longer human at all, but something else. The third leg of a thematic trilogy if you like."
