    WOW really ?

    The concept on it's own didn't appeal to me but I decided to give it a try anyway.As beginnings go, it's competent and confident, though not especially impressive. The book doesn't waste time getting started, although the plot is thin and there's a lot of florid exposition in the script. The art has a strong sense of character and place, although it's very DC House Style in a visually uninteresting way. However, it's the book's attitude that causes real problems. It's very hard to find sympathy for these characters or their situation, and the book is plastered with examples of unchecked, uncriticized excess. It bathes in millennial privilege, with references to social media, technology and trust funds. We all love Twitter, but if you followed the Green Team, you'd find them all insufferable. It also doesn't help that the bad guys in this issue are all angry poor people who hate these kids for no other reason than the fact that they are all angry poor people.

      Like Animal Man and Swamp Thing, The Green Team sets out to be a great yin-yang counterpart to Gail Simone's The Movement. The Movement started out on the streets, a dark dismal setting and slowly introduced the various morally questionable protagonists mid-action after the basic premise was laid out fairly quickly. The Green Team jumps right into introducing a group that's actually quite likable and interesting despite being Scrooge McDuck rich. It's weird, the poor Movement should be more rel...
