I love the one-panel SHQ comics, but the longer ones are not as good. Also, this one bugged me because it made me realize that the Super Hero Squad is mostly dudes and most of the women in the comic are baddies whose only power is their sexuality. A really bad message to send to kids and one that seems to be pretty pervasive right now. I had hoped for better, since a lot of their one panel comics had a quirky sense of humour that suggested a greater base of originality. Would not recommend this one.
