Rather than saving the world, they use their powers for selfish reasons: to please themselves, indulge in any fancy that comes their way, uncaring about anybody else, and to forget that they are all just pawns to Ivana, expendable to her needs and desires. The members don't like each other, but are soon banding together for survival. This is what stands this book apart from most other superhero teams: they aren't heroes, they are not nice people, don't even like each other and can't even save themselves, let alone the world. {{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}

Later on in the series, Baiul becomes director of [[International Operations]] and the team become agents of I.O. as well, at this point some of the members start to develop a conscience about their actions, especially [[Frostbite (Wildstorm)|Frostbite]].

Unlike Gen¹³, the overall nature of the comic was often very violent and extreme (even more so in the first few issues), with sexual themes, graphic violence, mild language and dialogue (especially between the team members), and general recklessness. The character [[Sideways Bob]] brought an especially dark, over the top, sense of humor to the series. {{Citation needed|date=March 2011}}

DV8 is a comic book published by Wildstorm. The series revolves around the lives of a group of Gen-Active people (Called DV8, or referred to as "The Deviants"), initially living in New York City under the supervision of Ivana Baiul, who sends them on life-threatening black ops assignments.

Publication history[edit]

The series lasted 32 issues. The story including most DV8 members continued in the pages of Gen-Active, an anthology series featuring various Wildstorm characters. Gen-Active, lasted 6 issues.

Writer Micah Ian Wright pitched a relaunch to WildStorm in 2003, but it was not picked up by the publisher. The artist in the book would have been Mark Robinson.[1]

The title returned in June 2010 as an eight-issue limited series called DV8: Gods and Monsters, written by Brian Wood with art by Rebekah Isaacs.[2] The project is something Wood had been trying to get commissioned for years:

"I've pitched DV8 to WildStorm easily a half-dozen times over the last decade, and even this version now wasn't the easiest sell in the world. I like to think it speaks to the quality of my story that it convinced WildStorm to re-launch this book despite not having any previous plans to do so."-Brian Wood[3]
