About the series
Jay Faerber and Patrick Gleason introduced the dysfunctional super-family of the Noble Causes in this 2002 Image Comics series, blending soap opera drama with superheroics across four issues. The series explored the private lives and public pressures of a wealthy, celebrity-powered crimefighting dynasty, setting the stage for the expanded universe that followed. Its sharp focus on family dynamics over traditional caped battles helped define a distinct subgenre of creator-owned superhero comics.
