Missing from Marvel’s schedule for far too long, the Squadron Supreme makes its triumphant return this week with a new number one issue and the all-new creative team of Howard Chaykin and Marco Turini.
This new series takes places five years after the end of the Supreme Power series filling readers in on what has happened with the Squadron Supreme and Nick Fury. Chaykin starts the book off bringing everybody up to speed on the first page. By the second page he’s moving fully into his plans for the book, introducing new characters and setting up long range plots. We very quickly see how things have changed over the missing five years. Turini’s art is distinctly different from previous artist Greg Land. At times Turini’s art is reminiscent of John Romita Junior’s, while still remaining distinctly his own. Although this first issue is spent setting up the new status quo, reintroducing some old characters, and introducing new ones, readers can look forward to seeing how Chaykin plans to fill in that five-year gap.
Action packed and filled with questions, Marvel, Howard Chaykin, and Marco Turini are set to take the Squadron Supreme in new directions. If you’ve been reading the Squadron Supreme, don’t miss the next stage in the evolution of this team.
