The Lot

Marguerite Bennett and Renato Guedes bring a darkly humorous twist to the superhero genre with The Lot (2021–present, Bad Idea). Set in a decaying Hollywood where the golden age of capes and tights has long faded, this four-issue series follows a washed-up former sidekick who now runs a support group for retired costumed heroes. Bennett’s sharp, character-driven script and Guedes’ gritty, expressive art make it a poignant, offbeat exploration of fame, aging, and the cost of a life lived in spandex.
