Supreme Power (vol. 2)

[Jack Hart]

I got the issue today and I gotta say Higgins is off to a great start I'll post a few spoilers below

spoilers:

-Starts of with the interview preview we already saw -There is some sort of Black Op going down and the President and General Alexander are in a room with other brass waiting to give the order -Order is a go and we see Joe shoot down from space into a military base in Syria -He fights another super who apparently has super strenght and telepathy -The bad super starts telling Joe to kill himself, this makes the Crystal take over and Joe goes all white eyes and incinerates the other guy -Cut back to the US where Joe arrives and is still all white eyed but is just floating there, Alexander yells at him and he snaps out of it -Joe talks to a shrink about how he hates what he has become -Cut to a frozen wilderness where a shirtless dude is lying in the snow -His wife/lady friend tells him to come in or he'll die -Cut to a forest where a spotter is radioing in that the shirtless dude isn Mark Milton!!!

end of spoilers

No problem, the only downside of the book for me was the some of the art. For about 90% of the book the art was good but every now and then Joe didn't look quite right, usually on the close ups. They gave him some wolverine-esque side burns and I think that's why it looked off to me. Still glad I could help.

That sort of thing doesn't really bother me - peoples hair styles change. Maybe he is just rocking the 70's retro hero look

If he had the Bob Ross look he would be the most powerful man in the universe!

Yeah it doesn't normally bother me but it just stuck out for some reason. It wasn't nearly as bad as Pete's hair in Ultimate Spiderman when LaFuente first took over

Thats because LaFuente sucks.

And Kyle told us not long ago that issue 2 is where some shit goes down. I cant wait.

[Captain France]

Just finished to read the first issue!
It was nice to see this universe back, and Joe/Doc Spectrum is a nice touch to bring Supreme Power.

Will we see Zarda and the rest of the Squadron?
Did the events of the futur seen on precedent issues happened?

EDIT:

This story takes place 5 years after Chaykins run

Where did you read that? It would place Supreme Power v2 in 2016, and not 2011.

I think the Mr. Higgins' story takes place few weeks/months after the Chaykin's run (which took place in 2011 chronologically).
If not why use the President Obama?

I've made a precise timeline, if some of you are interested, I can create a topic or post it here.

It was a decent issue. Not mindblowing, but it had all the basic elements that made the original volume a success, if not quite the stylistic or artistic flourishes that elevated it to the next level.

Not a lot of big new concepts I guess is what I'm saying, but it definitely felt like something that came from the JMS universe or, perhaps more accurately, the Wildstorm universe circa the Ellis Authority/Stormwatch/Planetary era.

I also like that it didn't revel too much in the MAX imprint. No nudity, two f-bombs. Solid. Too much reliance on all of that could have killed it, and I still feel like the change from MAX to Marvel Knights was itself unimportant in the downfall of JMS's interest in the book. I just think he loses interest pretty quick.

Yeah, you are right there. I kind of got pissed about that last time. And Kyle was going to do a signing for the book and it didnt even come out that week. And i believe Kyle himself said that the book takes place 5 years after the last the last series. I believe the interview is on CBR somewhere. Kyle a little help here please.
