About the series
At Image Comics, Gladstone's School for World Conquerors (2011–present) flips the superhero-school trope on its head, following the students of an institution dedicated to training the next generation of supervillains. Writer Mark A. Smith and artist Armand Villavert craft a clever, character-driven series that explores what happens when kids are taught to rule the world—only to find their own ambitions and friendships complicating the curriculum. Over its initial six-issue run, the book stands out for its warm, witty take on villainy, offering a fresh perspective on the classic good-versus-evil dynamic.
