There are lots of ideas that sound good at first, but the actual comic... leaves much to be desired. Or maybe the comic should be good because of the creators involved, or you want it to be good because of the characters. In either case, the comic did not live up to its potential.
Pretty let down by Vaughn here. BKV is one of my favorite writers, so when this was announced I got really excited.
With all the “success” of Claremont’s run on X-Men Forever, someone thought it would be cool for Larry Hama to go back and keep telling stories from his earlier run on G.I. Joe. The series is heavy on the words and crazy on the action, in situations that can be somewhat laughable. Yes, that comment is ridiculous considering this is a comic book based on toys about a pseudo military group of soldiers with no real appearance of uniformity fighting a terrorist cell called “Cobra” led by a raspy voiced dude that likes to wear blue and a cloth over his head.
You would think an ultra violent, uncensored Deadpool comic would be golden. Its not.
A poor follow up to the first series.
This series wasn't ready to come out of the oven yet. Concept is sound, the characters were... meh. When it wrapped, it felt like an ad for the New Mutants series. Also, the final story was pretty bad.
Do we need this?
Another that wasn't bad, just could have been much better.
Why?
This is a bad joke now.
Really?
Started out cool, went downhill quick after Claremont took over. Giving Nocturne a stroke to “raise awareness” was one of the worst moves ever (and he did this in the first issue he wrote for the series).
I wanted to get excited about this event, but I just couldn’t bring myself to care. Herc is fun, but he shouldn’t be at the center of a Marvel event.
Didn’t tell us anything new. Waste of time.
Just because it has Wolverine in it, doesn't mean it will be cool.
And this is how Loeb ruined the Ultimate Universe.
I used to like Loeb. Honest.
Ugh…
Jeph Loeb. I really don’t need to say anything else.
The concept for this series was much better than the actual series. I heard about it, saw Sean Phillips was involved, was kind of let down when I got a chance to read it. Not bad exactly, but could have been much better.
Not everything that CrossGen put out was good. This series was just awful.
This only includes the Jeph Loeb issues. The series picked up when Jeff Parker took over with #25. Still don't like that Red Hulk is Thunderbolt Ross. Dude, where does his mustache go?
