Release Date: April 14th (Being released every other month.)

Hot off the heels of his debut comic series MidState, featuring a small-town amateur detective with a supernatural twist, acclaimed writer and Eisner award-winning colorist Lee Loughridge takes on high school superheroes…well, sort of…in the new comic series, The Adequates. Joined by acclaimed artist Marz Jr (Transformers: Worst Bot Ever), Loughridge weaves a humorous and touching supernatural story about a group of students who find themselves transformed after a field trip.

High school is full of cliques and Savannah High is no different. From The Elites, an overachieving bunch of nerd-jocks, to The Goths, a group of nonconformists, and now, a group of misfits known as The Adequates.

In The Adequates, Principal Myers is obsessed with Halloween. Every year he and the students create a haunted house in the school, and he takes the entire student body and staff on a "haunted" field trip. This year, while on the field trip to the Bonaventure cemetery, a group of five awkward freshmen – Julie, Chad, Randy, Pam, and Grey – stick around for extra credit and accidentally acquire superpowers. Technically, more “adequate" than “super,” these kids have powers nonetheless. The Adequates must overcome their own personal vulnerabilities and learn to use their newfound “powers” to the best of their abilities. They quickly become proficient and defend themselves against the school bullies… However, bullies aren’t The Adequates’ biggest problem. It turns out everyone's favorite history teacher, Mr. Woods, has been possessed by a powerful demon. Culminating in a battle on Halloween night, The Adequates must join forces with The Goths in the hopes of expelling the demons to save Mr. Woods and the school.
