About the series
In this six-issue Image series from 2023–2024, artist Tyrell Cannon brings a grounded, expressive style to a story about an ordinary man whose mundane life is upended by an unexpected superpower. The Schlub explores what happens when an unremarkable, middle-aged guy suddenly gains abilities, forcing him to navigate a world of heroes and villains without the usual origin-story glamour. It’s a character-driven, offbeat take on the superhero genre that finds humor and pathos in the gap between everyday mediocrity and extraordinary circumstances.
