Are you familiar with The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves, comic book fans? If you aren’t, don’t feel so bad. They’re classic characters from the 1960s that DC acquired permission to use in 2000 under license from John Carbonaro, who owns the characters. They’re supposedly favorites of Dan DiDio, and now they’re finally seeing the light of day.

DC announced via the Source that a brand new series, penned by Nick Spencer with art by CAFU. While little is known about the series, DC has slightly teased some of the teams that will be dealt with in the book:

What happens when the very powers that drive you to be a hero are also killing you?

Do you burn out or fade away?

Do you resign yourself to your fate or risk it all to die a hero?

Those are just some of the questions being faced by the new heroes that take the mantle of the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents — a new and modern take on the classic 1960s property for today’s reader.

According to Will Moss, editor of the comic, THUNDER Agents will “prove that there are still fresh new ways to approach the superhero team concept.” Only time will tell.

The first issue launches in November.

Now, if you listen really carefully at night, you may still hear from whispers on the wind a faint voice saying, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine is not as bad as everyone says it issss."
