It's 1962 Chicago, where superpowered heroes have joined together to form a labor union called the Chicago Organized Workers League — or C.O.W.L.

The new Image comic kicks off later this month, spinning out of a college film by Nightwing and Batman Eternal writer Kyle Higgins called The League. Co-written with Alec Segal, the movie imagined a world where superheroes had formed a labor union, but now the two are expanding the concepts for a new comic featuring art by Rod Reis.

With the first issue due out later this month, Newsarama looks at who's who in the organization, talking to Higgins about what readers can expect from the new series.

C.O.W.L.

Who They Are: In this universe, after World War II, the development and deployment of the atomic bomb apparently kicked off superpowers in the world. "They happened at the same time," Higgins said. "So there's definitely is a connection."

I'll be sure to pick that up. It'll fill the void of superhero-cum-politics left by Gail Simone's "The Movement" being cancelled.
