About the series
A 2009–2011 DC series that ran 25 issues, The Outsiders follows a new incarnation of the team, led by Black Lightning and featuring Brion Markov (Geo-Force), Halo, and Green Lantern, among others. Written primarily by Dan DiDio, Peter J. Tomasi, and Philip Tan—who also handled much of the art alongside Fernando Pasarin and Lee Garbett—the book pits this squad against global threats and internal strife. It matters as a darker, more covert take on the classic team concept, blending street-level grit with cosmic stakes.
