The Reverse Engineers

Written by Andrew Burton and set in 2020s Detroit, a former hub of superhuman activity from fifty years earlier. Can an aging former supervillain and a bunch of kids not affiliated with the government make a difference in the world?

New Kids In Town - Set in 2014, Doctor Developer checks out an old supervillain hideout in the wake of the Big One, and finds quite a bit more than he expected!
The Kid's All Right - The spotlight is on the relationship between Doctor Developer and his young charge Rachel...and why he can't bear to be around her. Ties in with LL&DD #4.
Forbidden Foo - The Reverse Engineers clash with the Tinker Team, while thinking back on some pivotal moments in their development...and the mystery of why no one wants to go to Detroit is resolved!
