High School Defense Force

IB Comics' High School Defense Force (2018–present) is a three-issue series that reimagines teen life as a literal battleground, with artist Marc O'Kelly bringing a kinetic energy to its premise of students doubling as a covert defense squad. A compact, high-concept action comic from a smaller publisher, it stands out for blending schoolyard dynamics with superhero-scale threats, all filtered through O'Kelly's crisp, expressive linework.
