Issue 2 is also very good. I'm normally not even remotely interested in super hero comics, but this take is still somehow fresh and intriguing, even though I can now see how every postmodern look at the genre from then on has drawn from this work heavily. I love the idea that the costumed vigilantes are all fucked up in some way (fascist, rapist, self-publicist, pervert, etc).

Issue 11: So I was wrong issue 9 would be the Ozy back story. We had more from Silk Specter 2 on Mars. Then some plot. And THEN we got to Ozy. For the most intelligent man in the world, his plan sure sounds stupid!

Issue 8: Okay, NOW the story seems to be under way. I'm just nervous that we haven't had Ozymandius's back story yet, and before he comes into it (to whom I'm sure Night Owl and Rorschach are heading now) we'll get a full issue about him, interrupting the flow once more.

So... sex in a pod? Not sure I prefer that over more backstory, to be honest.

Issue six! Half way through! Good story telling, but I really want to get on to the main story again. Why so much back story for these characters if they're not going to do some good stuff?

Issue #5: Good to be getting on with the main story. I'm loving the wood/human/shark raft technology.

Issue #4: totally blown away by this part. Just amazing. I've seen similar things attempted in written fiction before, but in comic form it works way better.

Issue #3: I really enjoy how this is about the end of super heroes (retirements, deaths, defeats, exiles), not the origins.

Finished issue 1. It's very good so far. Quite engaging. If I still like it after issue 3, I'll see about buying the whole thing.
