Millar seems to be a very busy man these days. In addition to his other creator-owned project, Kick-Ass, he also has his work on 1985, Fantastic Four and Wolverine to contend with, but anyone who was worried that this final project might be a weak link in the chain will be reassured by this opener. The ideas may be a little familiar, and the plot might not advance beyond the basic setup in this first issue, but this is a solid debut that sets up the book's premise quickly and efficiently, and shows a lot of potential for the future. One to watch. Read Full Review

It may sound like I am coming down fairly hard on this first issue, but I really enjoyed what it had to offer. The concept is great, the writing is solid, and the art visually attractive. I can't ask for much more than that. Read Full Review

As for the art, I have to say I am not a fan. The images in the panels feel as is they are stuck on, like the entire comic book is a sticker book. Things simply look put on top of each other in ways that are both noticeable and intrusive. The colours are also washed out and with little variation within the panels, appearing to be applied with the bucket function of the paint program. The colouring is frustrating, at times it seems to be copying the latest issue of Criminal, other times its the Ultimates, wrestling with a decisive palette. A final complaint is the faces of the characters, they have too many lines on them, as if the sketches were not erased and inked instead. Perhaps over the next couple of issues things will become more stable, really adding to this comic series rather than getting in the way. Read Full Review
