About The Book
“A flawless execution and a damned good read.” —Booklist (starred review)
“The characters are rich and well-drawn, the story engaging and deeply layered.” —Kirkus
Welcome to the “Chicago Organized Workers League”—the world's first Super-Hero Labor Union! While C.O.W.L. once stood as a beacon of hope against an epidemic of organized crime and an unbeatable “brotherhood” of Super-Villains, the union now faces its fiercest foe yet-a disillusioned public. In targeting the last of the great villains, C.O.W.L. attempts to prove its value to the world and to each other, while staving off villainy from both outside and inside its offices.
C.O.W.L. is a Massive-Verse title.
This paperback compendium collects the complete story, all 11 issues along with the 3-issue miniseries, C.O.W.L.: 1964.
WHAT IS THE MASSIVE-VERSE?
Kyle Higgins & Marcelo Costa's breakout hit Radiant Black took superhero storytelling to new heights. But Radiant Black isn't the only character inhabiting the MASSIVE-VERSE. There's a whole universe for readers to explore! Characters like Rogue Sun, Inferno Girl Red, The Dead Lucky and more yet to be revealed each of them has a different story to tell, different adversaries to face and they each occupy a very different corner of this shared universe. What are you waiting for? Now's the time to get into the MASSIVE-VERSE!
