review 1: Mystery Men is good but not great. The high concept of a new batch of characters being proto-Marvel characters is not a new one and it almost works in this comic. The story would work as a novel, but as a comic tied into the Marvel Universe, it's not at all tied into the Marvel Universe. The art is pretty, but the script might have been fixed with another draft that included characters like the guys that went on to run around with Sgt. Fury in the Howling Commandos book
review 2: Really enjoyed the first portion of this. The Operative as the main hero in the first section is fantastic----he's very much a traditional superhero but tweaked just enough in a 1920's way to make him fun. It falls apart for me, though, once the other heroes get added to the mix. Not b... moread, just very much superheroes by the numbers that just happens to be set on the eve of the great depression. Perhaps my expectations were a little high. less
