The Solution

In the mid-1990s, Malibu Comics launched The Solution, a superhero team series that ran for 18 issues. Written primarily by James Hudnall and Len Strazewski, with art by John Statema, Darick Robertson, and Steve Ellis, the book followed a diverse cast of heroes—including Outrage, Shadowmage, Aera, Drop Kick, Lela Cho, and Tech—as they navigated a gritty, action-driven landscape. It stands as a distinctive entry in Malibu's superhero line, showcasing the publisher's ambition to build its own shared universe during a crowded era.
