The beginning of a new book, and a new concept really for comics. First off, we have Gail Simone writing this one. Have I mentioned how much I love her work? She brings to comics a fresh new feel. She's relatively new to the scene, but I have a feeling she's going to be around for a long time to come. Also Neil Googe is the artist. His style sets a great mood and feel for this book. Anyways, basically, we have a town called Tranquility. It's been set up as a safe haven for Maxi's. Both good and bad. I guess they decided that with so many of them going into their twilight years, that there had to be someplace that they could enjoy their final adventures in life relatively unscathed. And we have Mayor Fury, and Sheriff Lindo to thank for their tireless effort in keeping the peace. The biggest crimes in the city are things like, Captain Cobra and Mongoose Man, formerly arch enemies, fighting over which side of the fence the apples from the tree fall on. That is until the Emoticon, a grandson of one of the maxi's, come into town to stir up some trouble. Which is something he does regularly, but this time in the commotion Mr. Articulate ends up getting stabbed. Is it fatal? We'll have to wait until next issue to find out. Fantastic freshman effort by all the creators involved. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
