About the series
Mark Russell and Steve Lieber team up for this six-issue DC series, which takes a satirical look at the lives of second-tier superheroes working as gig-economy employees for a struggling hero-for-hire agency. Launched in 2022, the story follows a cast of C-list characters navigating the indignities of low pay, corporate mismanagement, and the existential dread of being one bad review away from unemployment. It's a sharp, humanizing commentary on the gig economy wrapped in a superhero comedy.
