Ok look, I am going to be real here for a second. I am a big fan of Ming Doyle's art, ever since she did wonderful alternate character designs for Project Rooftop a few years ago. Also I think I'm one of the few person who is still reading and enjoying Brian Wood's massively underrated Ultimate X-Men. Jordie Bellaire colors everything and colors everything great and has quickly become the nitrogen of Planet Comics' atmosphere.
That said, this book was straight up pitched to me as a sports comic. The *logo* is a volleyball. The first issue had a sports match, the second issue has a volleyball camp beat down but really, it ain't. At all. It's a slow burn modern superhero origin like we've seen a million times before.
I am just really disappointed about where this story has gone and where it seems to be heading.
I am all in, I already pre-ordered the thing, but seriously, we have enough superhero comics. Something that looked like a promising if somewhat shaky long-overdue diversification of American comics genres is really a bait and switch.
Can you really say that about a story? Probably not, it's a story not a box of detergent, you pay for access to the authors to guide you through it, maybe it's not a fair criticism, but I feel like someone took a dive somewhere.
It's fine as a modern decompressed superhero origin story if that is what you want.
Still, I will stick with the series, I've already committed to it at my store and I enjoy supporting creators I am interested in such as the three listed in the masthead here.
