I think what maybe driving people away from this title thus far is the lack of any real combat yet. Maybe I'm in the minority here but I don't need an all out war every issue. Sometimes I think we've all been brainwashed over the years to think a comic book needs to have some galactic proportion confrontation in every issue. I like what the creative team has established here. It's different, witty, certainly has an edge, and is progressing at real nice rate now that I look back on it.
I'm as much a fan of the originals as anyone else. Thats what drove us to this title. The simple fact that they're not featured in this volume shouldn't turn you off to it. Instead I've come to treasure these new characters much more than I did the ones featured in vol.2. Flex, Murmur & Co. all came off to me as copies of other established heroes. These new members are refreshing. I mean think about it. We have a 90+ year old black man teaming up with a disgruntled, backwater prince, a grown up yet still naive boyscout, a hot to trot, sexy bartender, a gamma irradiated scientist/ fuzzball, and the living embodiment of retribution in a skin tight suit. What's not to like???
While it's true this title can be a little goofy at times I truly think it works here. Why can't we have a book that steps outside the bounds of the generic comic book formula? Enjoy it for what it is and not for what it isn't.Originally Posted by cmdrkoenig67
