“Meanwhile”

In "Meanwhile," Obidiah Olsen wakes from a surreal dream where every Gen 13 member is replaced by villains, interpreting it as a call to resume his vendetta. Writer John Layman and artist Dan Norton deliver a tense, character-driven moment as Obidiah’s clumsy attempt to strike fails spectacularly—only to land him and two other misfits, Dilemma and Bedbug, in Threshold’s clutches. The cover by Dan Norton and Sandra Hope captures the uneasy shift in tone, setting up a new chapter in the series with a mix of dark humor and looming threat.
