Inferior Five

The Inferior Five (2021–present, DC) is a single-issue revival of the classic team, co-written by Jeff Lemire and Keith Giffen, with Giffen also handling the art. This one-shot reimagines the Silver Age parody squad with a modern, heartfelt twist, exploring what it means to be the world's second-best superhero team. It matters as a loving, offbeat homage to DC's more obscure corners, blending Giffen's signature irreverent humor with a surprisingly sincere character study.
