About the series
From 1987 to 1988, Malibu Comics published Ex-Mutants, a two-issue series that carved out its own niche in the post-apocalyptic superhero landscape. Written by David Lawrence and illustrated by Ron Lim and Shawn Atkinson, the series introduced a world where mutants are hunted and exterminated, leaving a small band of survivors to fight back against a tyrannical regime. Though brief, Ex-Mutants is a notable early example of Malibu's ambitious attempt to build a shared universe, showcasing the gritty, dystopian storytelling that defined the era. Its concise run and focused creative team make it a curious artifact of late-'80s indie comics.
