About the series
Andy Diggle and artist Jock launched this gritty 2004–2006 DC miniseries, a taut five-issue tale of a special-forces team betrayed and left for dead. Framed as casualties of a covert mission gone wrong, the survivors adopt a new, lethal identity to hunt down the shadowy cabal that destroyed their lives. Ben Oliver and Nick Dragotta also lent their pencils to the story, grounding it in a visceral, modern-war aesthetic. A lean, hard-edged action thriller, The Losers matters for its stripped-down, espionage-driven take on the revenge genre within the superhero landscape.
