Keith Giffen Revives Inferior Five for DC Comics in September – What to Do With Woody Allen?
To be fair, it's not the first time Keith Giffen has expressed his admiration and fascination with DC Comics' The Inferior Five. But now it looks like he's gone and roped Jeff Lemire and Michelle Delecki with him for a back-up strip. They should know better.
The Inferior Five are a parody superhero team created by E. Nelson Bridwell and Joe Orlando for DC Comics back in 1966. They were intended to be sons or daughters of members of a much more successful superhero team,the Freedom Brigade, a parody of the Justice League of America. While most of the Inferior Five were based on popular DC characters, Merryman was based on Woody Allen.
Which might, possibly, be a tad problematic right now. The others were Dumb Bunny, Awkwardman, The Blimp and White Feather. They have popped up sporadically over the years, most recently in The Brave And The Bold and reinterpreted as the Superior Five in Villains United.
But now it looks like it's time for a complete reboot. It's also what Dan DiDio seemed to have on his desk over the weekend... which I totally missed. Damn you, Dan.
