About the series
In 2007 and 2008, DC Comics published Welcome to Tranquility, a 12-issue series by writer Gail Simone that reimagined the superhero retirement community. Illustrated primarily by Neil Googe, Irene Flores, and Billy Dallas Patton, the series blends small-town mystery with the eccentric lives of aging, often forgotten, super-powered residents. It matters as a sharply written, character-driven take on superhero tropes, exploring what happens when heroes hang up their capes and try to live quietly in a world that won't let them.
