About the series
This 1997–1998 DC Comics series reimagines the classic Challengers of the Unknown for a modern era, following a new team—Clay Brody, Marlon Corbet, Brenda Ruskin, Kenn Kawa, Sarah Hargate, and Ace Morgan—as they confront strange, high-concept threats. Written primarily by Steven Grant and Len Kaminski, with art by talents including John Paul Leon, Mike Zeck, and Jill Thompson, the 18-issue run blends science fiction, adventure, and a darker, more character-driven tone. It stands as a notable, edgy reinvention of the team concept during DC’s late-1990s shift toward more mature storytelling.
