| | Sunday Slugfest - Squadron Supreme #1 Review - Silver Bullet Comics |
 | | For uninitiated readers, like myself, who missed out on the preceding Supreme Power series, there are separate introductions for all twelve or so members of the team, as well as a public unveiling and a briefing of the purpose and mission statement of the team. |
 | | The Squadron is put together by generic military bureaucrats in a featureless office, which is hardly the most inspiring of scenarios, and the little vignettes with the team members are, for the most part, rather lacking in effective characterisation, which given that they’re supposed to introduce the cast, is a somewhat major flaw. |
 | | JMS presents the Squadron Supreme with a tone which is a world away from what I’m used to in his work on Spider-Man, working his super-team into a contemporary political landscape and grounding it with an overriding sense of realism - as far as is possible within the confines of a super-hero book, anyway. |
