The Phalanx is a good dose of nostalgia for 90s superheroes. The story isn't going to make you think about life or anything, but it will make you escape a bit which makes it an enjoyable read. Read Full Review

The Phalanx #1 serves as a loving tribute to Image Comics' inception, from the titular team's heroes to its 1992 setting.
