F*** Yeah!!!
If there's a new superhero comic to try
and a new world to explore – this would be it!
It's only the first issue.
I was amused in the first couple of
pages which are done very nicely like a good old silver age comic
that give us character names (like Kid Monstro and Apollo) and a feel
for how this new world works with the superheroes that are like the
Teen Titans of this world.
Then it throws it all out the window.
Picture a bunch of characters that are
like alternate-universe-young-adult-versions of all your favourites
like Kid Vigilante (Batman!), Apollo (Superman, duh!), Fearless (Nick
Fury), etc... Now picture an Earth where all the superheroes left to
combat some great threat in space months ago and now... well, lets
just say that things are not looking good and Apollo has lost his
marbles more than a little. I'm not saying the characters are direct
rip-offs, but one can see parallels and archetypes at play here when
creating the style and characteristics of all of them.
