Rich Veitch’s Brat Pack

Rick Veitch’s Brat Pack, published by IDW from 2018 onward, is a darkly satirical superhero series that deconstructs the sidekick archetype. Written and drawn entirely by Veitch, the single-issue story explores the cynical, exploitative underbelly of the teen-hero tradition, offering a sharp, adult critique of the genre’s conventions. A pointed, creator-driven work, it stands as a provocative commentary from a veteran artist known for challenging superhero tropes.
