Series

Lost in Paradise (3-5; Jim Lee, J. Scott Campbell, Brandon Choi, Scott Williams, Alex Garner). [From DC Comics: Re-presenting the popular adventure from Gen13 #3-5, featuring the kids' first meeting with Lucius and his pirates, and their battle on the island of renegade Coda!]
I 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?]
