Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In the 1960s, they were DC Comics' misfit super-heroes, a team of borderline freaks who secretly banded together against evil. The team was brought back in 1989 by Grant Morrison, renowned writer of JLA and The Invisibles, who reinvented them as disaffected heroes up against a parade of absurdist villains.

This is kind of brilliant. Grant Morrison resurrects what was by all accounts one of the more bizarre superhero teams of the 60s, and makes them even more bizarre. Cliff Steele, who has the brain of a man in the body of a robot... Crazy Jane, who has a superpower for each of her 64 personalities... Rebis, who is an amalgamation of a man, a woman, and a "negative energy being"... The stories are twisted and creepy, but also have a lot of humor to them, and you end up genuinely liking the characters, particularly Crazy Jane and Cliff.
