R.E.B.E.L.S.

In the wake of the Blackest Night, Tony Bedard steered this 28-issue DC series, which refocused on Vril Dox and his renegade team of cosmic outcasts as they fought to liberate the galaxy from the tyranny of the Starro the Conqueror. With a rotating art team including Claude St. Aubin, Andy Clarke, and Sergio Ariño, the book explored the gritty, political edge of the DC universe's outer space, offering a darker, more tactical take on the classic L.E.G.I.O.N. concept. It stands as a smart, underrated sci-fi saga that gave readers a deep dive into the corners of the cosmos rarely seen in mainstream DC comics.
