The Inferior 5 get an off-kilter horror reimagining in this exclusive preview

When the Inferior 5 was introduced back in the late ’60s, the team was a parody of the Justice League spotlighting goofy characters who failed to match the heroism of their superhero parents. For the team’s revival, Keith Giffen and Jeff Lemire go in a very different direction as they craft a superhero horror story about young people living in a desolate Arizona town full of mysteries. Co-plotted by Giffen and Lemire with a script by Lemire and art by Giffen, Inferior 5 is a very strange comic with roots in a 30-year-old event, Invasion!, following these recent refugees to Dangerfield, Arizona after the alien invasion of Metropolis. Each issue also contains a back-up story written and drawn by Lemire spotlighting the diplomat superhero Peacemaker, who is on his own mission leading him to Dangerfield.
