The Schlub

In The Schlub (2024–present, Image Comics), writer Ryan Stegman and artist Kenny G. take a sharp, comedic look at what happens when a washed-up, middle-aged superhero—once a beloved icon—tries to reclaim his glory in a world that’s moved on. This ongoing series blends satire with heartfelt character study, exploring the absurdities of heroism through the eyes of a man who’s more concerned with his mortgage than saving the day. With its grounded, irreverent tone and Image’s signature creator-owned freedom, it offers a fresh, human take on the superhero genre that’s both funny and surprisingly poignant.
