Writers Gail Simone and Gerry Duggan and artists Michael Allred and Gene Ha are also among those working in the universe of the cult hit comic published by Dark Horse Entertainment.
and TV writer Jordan Blum’s cult hit comic book centered on the travails of underappreciated and overlooked D-list villains — continues to expand and has now attracted the attention of some A-list creators.
“Doing an anthology felt like the perfect way to expand the universe and explore new subgenres within this world of heroes and villains,” said Blum. “We seem to focus on stories and characters who would fall through the cracks at Marvel or DC. The underdogs who often get overlooked. Our books are incredibly character focused and anthologies really allow you to spotlight one at a time in really unique ways.
Fraction and Allred are the creative team behind the first issue, which will focus on a washed-up, bird-winged actor Benjamin “Brock” Bronkowicz who isn’t a superhero, but played one on TV. Brock now spends his time on the superhero convention circuit, trying to cash in on his fleeting fame, drinking away his problems as he fades into obscurity. A chance encounter with a mysterious woman, however, empowers Brock to fight for a life he once thought was over.
“I’ve always been drawn to noir, and some of my favorites were ones I saw at the New Bev along with Patton, titles like,” Duggan wrote via email. “A ‘cleaner’ in a superhero universe is just such a fun fertile place to tell a story, and we’re giving our lead some very real problems to deal with — there is an equation that goes back to Stan, Jack and Steve that still works. You’ll see that in our introduction to this universe.
