About the series
In this 2006–2007 Viper Comics miniseries, writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach and artist Les McClaine bring a brisk, three-issue dose of offbeat superheroics to the printed page. The Middleman follows a young woman recruited into a secret organization that battles bizarre, pop-culture-infused threats, blending deadpan humor with classic adventure. Its concise run captures the quirky charm and fast-paced wit that would later define the cult-favorite television adaptation.
