  • Issue No. 4: Written by Gerry Duggan (Falling in Love on the Path to Hell) and illustrated by Mark Torres (Cold Spots).

Exploring Overlooked Characters

Oswalt and Blum conceived the anthology series as a way to explore subgenres within the superhero and villain universe. Their previous spin-offs, including The Alternates (psychedelic superheroes), The Brood (a Wes Anderson-style family drama), and Barfly (a punk rock coming-of-age story), showcased their penchant for genre-bending narratives.
