Drafted: One Hundred Days

In Drafted: One Hundred Days, Devil's Due Publishing launched a 2009 one-shot that explores the gritty, bureaucratic reality of ordinary people forcibly conscripted into a superhuman war. This single issue, the first of the Drafted series, distills the premise into a tense, character-focused snapshot of a hundred-day training period. Writer Mark Sable and artist Chris Lie craft a grounded, morally complex take on the superhero genre, emphasizing the human cost of conflict over spectacle. It matters as a concise, standalone entry that reimagines superpowers as a military draft, offering a fresh perspective on the genre's tropes.
