Exclusive Preview: SQUADRON SINISTER #1

SQUADRON SINISTER #1

(W) Marc Guggenheim (A/CA) Carlos Pacheco

• They're the WORLD'S GREATEST... VILLAINS. The SQUADRON SINISTER. And they're taking Battleworld by force in this Secret Wars tie-in for fans of crime epics like The Godfather, The Sopranos and Sons of Anarchy. But will controlling one Domain be enough for Hyperion and his gang?

Rated T+

So, it looks like the Squadron Supreme just forgot how most of their powers work?

Dr spectrum looks like cotton candy with those colors

Wait,TWO Hyperions? And didn't they change Doctor Spectrum to a female for the all new Marvel thing?

I will only get the Gwen cover.

@gothicshieldagent: That's how Battle world works. There are multiple versions of every character from different multiverses.

That's how Steve Rogers battled multiple wolverines and Hulks in Planet Hulk.

Or how Doctor Strange is allied with Dr. Doom while also living in Punishers body.

The cool redesign makes me think/hope this version of Warrior Woman survives the Secret Wars

Sigh once again the work of Straczynski is turn down shit by Marvel.

Is a shame because I really like the Squadron Supreme and Pacheco, but the uber violence and the way they treat supreme power is just shameful.

This is my dream book, can't wait. got all variants pre-ordered as well. Although after seeing the all-new marvel poster thing, I'm worried this badass version of King Hyperion won't carry over? too bad, he's the coolest of all Hyperions.

The Justice League made their way into Secret Wars.

You mean CSA.

@supremehyperion: Really? My favorite version just got vaporized. Lol

Oh, Hickman's version is pretty badass as well.

@guardiandevil83: Ya I loved the newest version of Hyperion (although I felt he was way under used), but the whole King Hyperion storyline and him as a villain is just amazing (exiles story.The King Hyperions from Thunderbolts and blue marvel I refuse to consider them as the same).

Ultimately though any Hyperion they choose will be one I'm ok with as he has always been my favorite fictional character since as far as I can remember.

(And to totally sound sexist here) Wish they would have decided to carry over one of the male versions of Doctor Spectrum, but if they do create a Squadron Sinister or Supreme in the New Marvel Universe (which they really need to do) I'll be happy.

@supremehyperion: I sure hope so. I want at least one of these Hyperions to fight Sentry also. Then I can die happy.

I wonder why Blur wasn't there? He could have helped Prizm against Whizzer in those scans.

@guardiandevil83: that is weird, especially since the Blur was shown on the Supreme side of the cover? Also, Spectrum must be crazy powerful the way he one-shot, obliterated Zarda

@supremehyperion: Yeah Marvel has given them a major upgrade. When they first appeared years ago, they were strong, but it seems like every member is buffed up to Kings level. Which is badass!

Im down for this, even if it is hard to take Speed Demon seriously as a threat after Superior Foes.

After trillions upon trillions of death why should the deaths in this title mean anything?

THIS. I NEED THIS.

@meatwadf: we'll ever since JMS just left the original title all those moons ago marvel have kinda just have a ''Meh'' attitude towards those characters.

@supremehyperion: what are the best hyperion or squadron supreme comics with good art and action to prepare for this series. Love hyperion and doctor spectrum looks cool

That makes me super sad. Loved his run on SP so much. Always got a kick out of his versions of Nighthawk and Doc Spectrum. To see Spectrum literally just stand there and not even think about using his crystal reminds me of the Deathstroke vs. Justice League fight. lol

@meatwadf: same I go by the impression that they died at the hands of the cabal and that those dude are jaut another version of them

I think this is a really good example of just how dangerous Flash (or any other speedster) could be. That aside I hate to see the Marvel Max Supreme Power group go down so easily, but I dig any evil JL.

@rpgesus: There are no stories that represent this version of the Squadron Sinister, but in general I would read the 1985 Squadron Supreme series (one of the best ever, sort of a watchman before watchman type story).

For a badass King Hyperion story you can go with

Exiles Issues 38, 39, 40 (story titled King Hyperion), 44, 45 and then Exiles Issues 62, 63, 64, 65.

Thunderbolts also had a version of King Hyperion.

Early Squadron Sinister appearances take place in the 70's-80's in avengers and defenders comics (you can find them online I do believe and I like them all lol)

Or any title that came after the Incursions... It does make you feel '' meh...what's the point'' doesn't it ? Something that should not be the goal but for such an event....it is the strongest feeling I have. Meh. What is the point ?

What the...They look like Earth-3 villains from DC Comics. O___O

I'm really hating on Marvel for all these costume changes, but YAY! Hyperion gots his orange one back not that horrible grey piece of crap.

They really hate the Supreme universe don't they?
