The Liberty Project features villains trying to be heroes
“The Liberty Project” collection from About Comics, released in 2003, collects the eight issues and one special published featuring the characters, created by Kurt Busiek (“Marvels,” “Astro City”) and James W. Fry.
The premise is similar to DC’s Suicide Squad — superpowered villains are given the opportunity to reduce their sentences by working for the government. Fans of Busiek’s
later work on “Thunderbolts” or “Power Company” will see similar themes explored.Originally published by Eclipse, the series features a guest appearance by Valkyrie and Airboy.
The black-and-white collection features issues 1-8 and the special Total Eclipse: The Seraphim Objective. That’s every appearance of the characters other than “Jack Kirby’s TeenAgents” #3 from Topps Comics, where Busiek brought the Project back for one issue.
