Synopsis: These teens are learning to save the world…one class at a time! Welcome to the Seminary, where teenagers learn how to be super-heroes. It provides the backdrop for THE INTIMATES, a new series co-created by Jim Lee (SUPERMAN, BATMAN), with writer Joe Casey (WILDCATS VERSION 3.0, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes), and penciller Giuseppe Camuncoli (HELLBLAZER)! This story features art by Camuncoli & Hope with additional panels of a comic-within-a-comic by Lee. THE INTIMATES follows the misadventures of Punchy, Destra, the Duke, Empty Vee, and Sykes as they cope with a curriculum that includes Secret Identity 101, NuPhysics and even Morality Class, everything they’ll need to one day become great super-heroes. But things aren’t what they seem at the Seminary, which contains a dark secret even the retired super-hero faculty may be unaware of! These kids are the future of the WildStorm Universe, but right now they’re late for gym class!
