The nice soft colors are attractive.

Oh, and I truly dislike the art in that preview.
Feels like one of those Marvel Adventures titles...

I thought the online previews had dialogue now. Hell, the version of this from Previews even had it.

Yeah, very odd.

Part of the trade-off for making it an ongoing series was that they would let the readers write the dialogue themselves.

I'm not a huge fan of Casseli either so it's going to take some getting used to for me.

Thats great writing. The preview made me want to really read the book. Cloud 9 is a cool name too! Hope this book sells.

Where da words at?

These pages are a lot better with dialogue.

Yeah, the Marvel Adventures line comes to mind, but at least they're very clean lines. I prefer it to the charcoal-looking lines in NA right now.

Slott said this would be a 'grr' book, but Grr is hard to pull off with..whimsical art. I'm not worried though as the story will outweigh the gravity the illustrations emote. The art is GOOD, just not Grr...

I like the idea of previews without dialogue, leaves more to the imagination, but once the dialogue is out what's the point?

Isn't that just what was included in the Civil War: The Initiative One-shot
