Hidden Gems: Damage Control

Damage Control

Written by Dwayne McDuffie

Art by Ernie Colón, Kyle Baker, Salva Espin & others

Published by Marvel Comics

Some ideas are just so brilliant you can’t believe they took so long to come about. In 1989, writer Dwayne McDuffie and artist Ernie Colón came up with one. With all the damage done in the Marvel Universe due to super-human battles, it makes perfect sense that there would be a construction firm that specializes in cleaning up the messes. And lo, Damage Control was born. Working out of New York’s Flatiron Building, the company was founded by businesswoman Anne Marie Hoag, and entrepreneurs Tony Stark and Wilson Fist, and staffed with an eclectic but efficient group of characters. Over the course of four minis and two stories in anthology books, all written by McDuffie, Damage Control has remained an extremely fun part of the Marvel Universe. If you like to laugh when you read your comics, Damage Control is a great read.
