Liebers art is perfect for this style of story. The art is character focused and does a great job of showing the expressions of the characters in moments of stress and pain which amplify the comedic elements of the plot. Read Full Review
The StoryThe One-Star Squadron series is an edgier version of the Keith Giffen/J.M. Dematteis Justice League from the 1980s, with Red Tornado the manager of a Heroz4u office. Heroz4u provides work to those heroes who have been forgotten or never got the acclaim of heroes such as Superman. Its like Luke Cage and Danny Rands Heroes for Hire, except Heroz4u does Bar Mitzvah appearances, birthday parties and Cameo videos. Read Full Review
‘One-Star Squadron' #2 continues to present the more desperate side to suer-heroism in the DCU. When you're a washed up hero some, like Minute Man, have to ply their trade through agencies like Heroez 4 U. As well as the usual satirical swipes – but this time set in a workplace environment – there is more than a touch of tragedy to Minute Man's story. Read Full Review

A good bit can support a one-shot, but One-Star Squadron is in need of something more to support its humor and visual charm. Read Full Review
One Star Squadron #2 is the comic book embodiment of the word "cringe" is all it's painful glory. It's not cute. It's not clever. It's not funny. It's not charming. It's not even good in a so-bad-it's-good sort of way. It's simply a painful chore equivalent to watching a stranger get kicked in the crotch for 20 minutes straight. On the plus side, the art is quite good. Read Full Review
This series is more entertaining if you're not an idiot.
"Is there really any difference between heroes and villains?" Yes it is, and if you're asking yourself that, you have some moral problems that you need to work on. Other than that, this was fun and depressing at the same time. Gets minus points for the annoying literal self-insert, I guess Russell really needs to remember people his works because no one is interested in them otherwise.
