“Troubleshooters, Incorporated was ahead of its time, coming before DC Comics’ Justice League Dark.”—Horror Talk
On sale right now is Justice League Dark, the latest straight-to-DVD feature from Warner Bros. Animation. A loose adaptation of the (now canceled) DC Comics series of the same name, it features among its voice cast Matt Ryan as John Constantine (reprising his role from the short-lived Constantine TV series), Jason O’Mara (Agents of SHIELD) as Batman, Rosario Dawson (Sin City) as Wonder Woman, Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2) as Destiny, and Jerry O’Connell (Sliders) as Superman. In it, an offshoot of the Justice League of America gathers to combat a supernatural threat to the world—and when demons and monsters are involved, it’s best to pick a team of crimefighters who have some familiarity with the supernatural. Like Justice League Dark.
Or Troubleshooters, Incorporated.
Yes, years before DC Comics tried mixing their horror and superhero characters in a team setting, author Richard C. White (Terra Incognito: A Guide to Building the Worlds of Your Imagination, The Chronicles of the Sea Dragon Special) assembled his own set of costumed heroes who fight supernatural monsters—only they do it to turn a profit!
Perfect for superhero fans, Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings is a graphic novel about a supernatural team of superfolk-for-hire, consisting of a wizard, a sorceress, a female ninja, a high-tech-armor-wearing rock concert lighting designer, and a werewolf. Not every superhero team has Tony Stark’s billions to play with, you understand, and the Troubleshooters are just looking to earn a living while fighting the monsters that have always lurked in the shadows. Makes sense, right? Of course it does!
The Troubleshooters consist of: Silver Oak, the team leader and a sorcerer; Yolanda, a sorceress who wants to be a veterinarian; Nightstalker, an intelligent werewolf who was already fighting crime before he joined the team; Lightshow, a rock ’n’ roll lighting designer who built himself a suit of armor with laser blasters and other weapons—think Tony Stark designing an Iron Man suit for the Dazzler, but then keeping it for himself because he thought it looked cool; and Shadow Mist, a blond, female ninja.
Written by the husband-and-wife team of Richard C. White and Joni M. White, and illustrated by Reggie Golden and Randy Zimmerman, Night Stalkings presents the TSI members on their first mission: protecting a multimillionaire from a trio of Middle Eastern demons out to raise a little hell! If Justice League Dark intrigues you, then you should definitely check out Troubleshooters, Incorporated.
Troubleshooters, Incorporated: Night Stalkings is available in print and digital formats, so visit its product page for ordering information and sample pages.
