About the series
A short-lived but memorable DC series from 2018–2021, The Terrifics was a four-issue team-up book that brought together a quirky quartet of heroes—Mr. Terrific, Plastic Man, Phantom Girl, and Metamorpho—bound by a shared origin in a strange, dark-matter disaster. Driven by the talents of writers Gene Luen Yang and Jeff Lemire, with a rotating roster of top-tier artists including José Luís, Ivan Reis, and Stephen Segovia, the series leaned into classic DC adventure with a modern, heartfelt sensibility. It mattered as a playful, character-driven exploration of found family and scientific wonder, channeling the spirit of the old Fantastic Four while carving its own oddball niche in the DC universe.
