Dial H, Vol. 1 by China Miéville

A reinvention of the classic dial-for-powers premise, the story follows an ordinary, disaffected man who stumbles on a mysterious rotary device that transforms its users into a parade of strange, ephemeral superheroes; as he and others are drawn into increasingly surreal, often violent transformations, the book mixes noir, body-horror, and dark humor while unraveling the dial’s origins, the dangers it poses, and the shadowy forces racing to control it.
