Notes:
(1) All issues in this series were released simultaneously. I don't understand why. At that point, just release the whole thing as a graphic novel.
- Factoring in production costs, single issues aren't very profitable, if at all. The money's in trades and selling through book retailers, not just comic shops.
- I guess it's for consistency and the collector's market.

Notes:
(1) The last half ended up being what we expect from Mark Millar: a lot of exploding bodies, gore and bold irreverence.
(2) This turned out to be much deeper than expected. It directly tackles that thorny philosophical question, "would you kill baby Hitler."
- It also throws in a nature v. nurture debate.
(3) This gets really political, but it's even-handed about it.

Notes:
(1) Eric Canete takes over art duties, and though he has a similar kind of inky/sketchy style as Sean Gordon Murphy, it's far too muddy and chunky for my taste.
- It's like reading text where everything's in bold.
(2) This reminds me of Millar's "The Ambassadors" but time cops instead of superheroes.
- You get the same recruitment tour through a technological utopia.
