The Clean-up Crew for Superheroes

When superheroes destroy a city, someone has to pay the bill. Damage Control is a fictional company that makes a living cleaning up the rubble left behind by epic battles between heroes and villains.

While blockbuster movies show skyscrapers crumbling during superhero fights, they rarely show the mundane aftermath. This group manages the insurance claims and structural repairs required after the smoke clears. Created by Dwayne McDuffie, the series turns the comic book genre on its head by focusing on the blue-collar workers who handle the fallout. It is a surprisingly grounded look at the messy reality of living in a world of living gods.
