The Hypernaturals was a 2012-2013 comic series written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning and published by BOOM! Studios, an original superhero concept outside the Marvel and DC universes. The series is set in the 100th year of the Quantinuum, a future society held together by a benevolent artificial intelligence, where a rotating team of superheroes called the Hypernaturals are humanity’s greatest defenders and celebrities simultaneously.
Vol. 1 establishes the premise: the current active team disappears and a group of former members are recalled to investigate. The mystery involves Sublime, a past member who went insane with power. Vol. 3 (no Vol. 2 appears in this collection) continues and concludes the story. The series draws on Abnett and Lanning’s experience writing cosmic Marvel team books, with a focus on ensemble character dynamics and large-scale threats. The Hypernaturals was their most significant original superhero creation outside licensed work.
