Starting
Over (1-7; Jim Lee, J. Scott Campbell, Brandon Choi, Scott Williams,
Alex Garner). [From DC Comics: Government agencies
out to get you? Gen-Factor got you down? Worried about how you look in spandex?
That makes you a prime candidate for Gen13! To help catch you up, follow
the crazy adventures of Fairchild, Grunge, Rainmaker, Burnout, and Freefall.
From the sunny shores of California to the exotic jungles of Coda Island,
these five super-powered teenagers tour the world as they stay one step
ahead of the covert organization that's out to get them. Even in the cobbled
streets of Italy, the Gen-Active gang finds starting over isn't as easy
as they thought!] |

Love New York (25-29; w John Arcudi; a Gary Frank, Cam Smith).
[From DC Comics: It'll take more than a New York minute for these
five super-powered teens to adjust to life in the Big Apple. Fairchild,
Grunge, Freefall, Burnout, and Rainmaker do their best to lose themselves
in the big city, hoping to elude the government organization that continues
to hunt them. But as is usually the case with these adolescent heroes, keeping
a low profile is as easy as finding a strip club in Times Square!]
|
We'll
Take Manhattan (45-50; w Scott Lobdell; a Ed Benes, Jonathan Sibel,
et al.). [From DC Comics: The Gen13 kids are living
the high life in Manhattan! Even though they are no longer on the run, trouble
keeps finding Fairchild, Burnout, Rainmaker, Grunge and Freefall. But no
matter what they face, be it lingerie models on a crime spree or increasingly
erratic behavior on the part of their mentor Lynch, Gen13 will get through
it by depending on the one thing they can count on: each other.]

Superhuman
Like You (60-65; w Adam Warren; a Adam Warren, Ed Benes, Kaare Andrews,
et al.). [From DC Comics: With this collection of
riotous tales, Renaissance man Adam Warren kicks off a new era in the history
of super-group Gen 13, long one of the most popular youthful teams in comics.
Beginning with "Behind the Power," a story that encapsulates the
team's past and presents a possible future, Adam's trademark low humor,
vast knowledge of useless pop culture, and depth of degraded characterization
sets the stage for the stories to follow. In short order, the team migrates
from New York back to California - where they belong! - finds itself reunited
with a beloved figure from its past, battles a fast food employee gone bad,
runs afoul of a trio of powerful brothers, and meets another super-team
on their home turf (an encounter leading to romance for some and a battle
with ferrets for others). That's right, ferrets. Did we mention the low
humor? With artists ranging from Adam Warren himself to the slick good-girl
art of Ed Benes to the distinctive stylings of rising superstar Kaare Andrews,
there's something in this collection for every comic fan. Superhuman Like
You - it's almost more fun than is allowed by law.] |
Meanwhile
(43-44, 66-70; w Adam Warren; a Lee Bermejo, Ed Benes, Yanick Paquette,
Rick Mays, et al.). [From DC Comics: Following the
success of the first collection of this run (Gen13: Superhuman Like You),
WildStorm is proud to present more pop culture insanity, more drama, more
humor
but sorry, no ferrets. When we set one of comics leading lights
loose on some of comics most popular super-teams, we were expecting some
fun, some games, maybe a little romance - but what we got blew us all away.
Only comics writing guru Adam Warren could pull this off... or maybe he's
the only person crazy enough to try! 20 artists; 7 stories, visits to Jupiter,
a Mongolian Barbecue Grill, and the Authority's Carrier. We've got wonky
physics, the horrors of Pop music, and the evil Ivana Baiul. Memetics, Shrodinger's
Cat, cloud formations... and rescuing a bird caught in a tree. Of course,
one of these missions fails - but you can't save everything, now can you?]
