Squadron Supreme

[Adam]

Having read the first batch of issues, i am really enjoying this series. Robinson has a lot of knowledge of the MU, and it's nice to see him using that information for this niche project.

It can be a bit exposition-y at times, but Kirk's art keeps me entertained.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this series so far?

I'm really digging it so far! The first issue was a little rocky, but it's gotten better as it's progressed, and I enjoy the high concept of the series a lot. That Robinson has still be able to keep the oddball alternate universe heart of the team intact is such a great nod to the Squadron's origins too, and reaching back to get deep-cuts like Thundra or Skull the Slayer back into the mix slays me, pun absolutely intended. I'm very glad the book isn't as grim as I'd feared, and that the characters aren't getting the short shrift, which can so easily happen in a team book which also requires gallons of exposition. It's at the top of my reading list each week when it comes out, so I figure that's the best endorsement I can give it!

Intriguing idea with garbage writing

That is very well put. You should sell comics for a living . I take it you've read previous incarnations of the book?

I think the most informed names and companies in the business might disagree . I do, too. But each to their own ^^!

Couldn't overlook the problems I had with the first issue, which by looking at my avi, should be obvious. Never looked back since. I heard its improved, but that's nowhere near enough to wash the bad taste from my mouth.

[Adam]

Based upon your avatar, I think that's fair XD! I know that if someone killed Longshot or Madrox, I would struggle to buy that book as it would just be a constant reminder, quality of work aside.

I really like your pull list, by the way.

Thanks! I try.

After a somewhat uneven start, I think the first story arc finished off reasonably well. Not great, but overall it was fun.

I still think the first issue somewhat taints my view of the Squadron overall as human beings... but I don't need to necessarily like them as people to enjoy their story.

I suspect that uneasy feeling was intended. After all, you don't have your leading characters kill one of the oldest marvel heroes for giggles. ^^

Don't forget, they're not Avengers (love that premise)!

I get that they're not Avengers... but Hyperion was and I honestly was a little surprised he went along with what happened. Heck, he's the one almost entirely responsible for it. So I guess it just takes a little bit of tme to get used to the idea that this Hyperion is kind of a monster.

But again, my personal feelings for their actions and what sort of people they are aside, I felt the story ended up being fun and that's what matters.

Nobody is based out of Detroit yet. I'm ticked.

[warzon]

would to see CLEA on this team as a magic user and the character NUKE would be a great addition as well.

[Captain Wessex]

I'm enjoying it, particularly since Robinson's picking up dangling plots from his All-New Invaders series I enjoyed.

[Reviresco]

Dropped it after Robinson trashed Namor and the Atlanteans just to establish the team's cred.
