    The idea sounds fun, but the preview seema a little lacking.  There’s hardly any backgrounds or detail.  I look forward to reading the reviews…perhaps I’ll pick it up later.

    I think I’ll give the fist issue a shot.

    The art style has earned this an in-store look, at the very least.

    I’ve ordered it.  Based on the simple, easy to remember names and looks of the characters, I’m pretty sure I will enjoy this.  Keep it simple, and you have a good comic (e.g. Invincible).

    I like the Mike Oeming-meets-Jay Stephens look of the art, so I’ll definitely opening the bag in the store.

    I’m hearing “Sky High meets Runaways” being branded around by people with advance copies… that makes me pretty damn happy!

    Good concept but a bit needlessly wordy I thought. NIce character designs and art though. Just some pacing kinks to work out.

    @ResurrectionFlan – Agreed. I feel like there’s a very good book in here, but it was a bit too on-the-nose, which sucked some of the fun out of it. Plus, veeeeery exposition heavy. Like, clunkily so.

    That said, the art style was consistantly amazing (after a few awkward layouts in the beginning), the characters seem fun and the world is nicely builts. Highlights include the Skull Brothers, and the sickeningly sweet Ghost Girl.

    I liked it, I’ll be getting the next issue.
    @player1, The art style looked more like somthimg from Corey Lewis from Seedless and Sharknife to me.
