Backfired

A five-issue series from Source Point Press, Backfired (2020–present) follows a group of small-time supervillains whose heist plans repeatedly go awry, forcing them to improvise in increasingly chaotic ways. Created by writer and artist Dave Dwonch, the series offers a comedic, character-driven look at the underbelly of the superhero genre, focusing on the hapless failures rather than the caped heroes. Its brisk, self-contained story matters as a fresh, low-stakes take on villainy that prioritizes humor and relatable mishaps over world-ending stakes.
