That’s actually pretty cool. I missed out on the non-Static stuff as a kid and this is a nice recap.

For those who missed out on Milestone a “Misterswarm” over on Scans_Daily has been posting a history lesson…

Iota is dressed in a padded armor suit that sensibly doesn’t restrict movement.

It’s hot pink.

So speaking as someone seeing this character for the first time: Is she secretly a member of GI JOE, America’s daring highly trained special mission force?

I thought the writing did a great job of introducing new to me characters, just enough basics to get by until they can be explored in depth later. I will admit to only knowing it was a classic fight-then-work together set-up, not feeling it. To a new reader, these guys are a pretty brazen group of thieves (especially Iota, now that I think about it). I didn’t notice the art, maybe subconsciously

Oh, just to play Mr. Positive, this was a much better introduction of characters a lot of people hadn’t heard of when compared against the one they did for those Tangent characters. Hopefully they’ll have everything in place when they do it for the goddamn Shield and the fucking Comet. By the time they resurrect Tim Hunter, we could be talking some Deathmate level shit.

The worst part is, I have to wonder how much of the feeling of ’soullessness’ was just McDuffie wrestling with introducing too many characters in one issue (which is a basic and common problem that I wouldn’t hold against an overall story, and hard to get around) or the fact that it looks like it was drawn by Kevin Federline and inked on cocaine to a boombox incessantly, on repeat, playing “PopoZao.”
