About this Collection

This 2006 DC collection reprints the earliest adventures of the Gen 13 team, originally published by WildStorm. It gathers the introductory stories that established the young superhumans—runaways from a secret government program—and their origins, featuring the work of creators like Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, and J. Scott Campbell. The volume serves as a primer for new readers looking to understand the characters' beginnings in the WildStorm universe.

"Payback!" kicks off a high-stakes escape for Gen 13 as the team breaks free from the Genesis Project facility, racing against the relentless Genesis Keepers. Written by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, and Jeff Mariotte, with dynamic art by J. Scott Campbell and inks by Alex Garner, this 2006 DC issue captures the group’s desperate flight and the moment they begin to uncover the hidden connections binding them. The cover by J. Scott Campbell and Alex Garner sets the tone for a story where survival hinges on trust, power, and the truth behind their shared past.
