About this Collection

This volume collects the early issues of the 2007 Gen 13 series, focusing on a new generation of superpowered teens navigating their abilities and the shadowy conspiracies surrounding their origins. Written by Adam Beechen and illustrated by Talent Caldwell, the story reintroduces characters like Caitlin Fairchild and her teammates as they face threats both external and internal. The collection serves as a starting point for readers new to the team's adventures in the DC Universe.

In this pivotal first issue of Gen13 (2007), written by Gail Simone and illustrated by Talent Caldwell, the team—led by the sharp-witted Roxanne "Freefall" Spaulding—makes a desperate bid for freedom from Tablua Rasa’s high-security holding cell. With electrified restraints and a prototype transport device at their disposal, they fight their way out only to be gunned down by Mr. Lynch, who’s been ordered to stop them at any cost. Cover by J. Scott Campbell, with inks by Avalon Studios, captures the intensity of their escape attempt.
