Wonderful 1st issue! Mixed feeling, like I'm jumping into a the middle of a story yet ALL the info I need to go forward is right there and I'm not missing anything. Perfectly done JB.
At my LCS I didn't see any copies so I asked the owner. He replied that he ordered "a shit-load" and that they were on the shelf. When I still couldn't find it he looked and then gleefully replied that he must have sold them all. He did grab me a copy he had in reserve for himself so I managed to snag one. Sell out here and looks like he'll be ordering more!

Got the last copy on the stands -- the only thing I bought. The LCS owner asked, "Getting your Byrne fix?" "I tried smokin' Liefelds," I quipped, "but the flavor's almost non-existant." No laugh, so I didn't ask for a bump of McFarlane. But I DID love the issue! Good fun, great ride -- can't wait to see where it goes!

Read it, loved it. Interesting first issue. Interesting codenames and interesting the labels the media hanged to them.
Even if they seem to look alike, I bet that "One" is not like Great Lake Avengers' Flatman. And looking at Nautilus, and the last page, reminded me of Namor.

Another TRIO question for JB: Now that you are working on a full superhero universe book again, has that allowed you the opportunity to use some concepts and designs that you may have come up with earlier, but were not able use in your previous books, like NEXT MEN or STAR TREK?

TRIO has allowed me to bring some characters "back" into the limelight, but everything else is new to, and created for, this series.

Ohhhhh-kay. . . . . . ---------------- I meant their special abilities (being flat and able to stretch). Looks like both characters have the same special abilities, but the way you did draw them, indicates that the nature of those abilities are different...

I really enjoyed the book, and I'm looking forward to it lasting a very long time!
A pair of questions and comments for JB -
1) Why did you decide to use this particular paper stock for the series? I realize the new "self-covering" policy of IDW was a happy accident that led to the really sharp appearance on the store shelf, yet even discounting that the look of the interior is very nice, and I really like the texture and the way it holds colour.
2) Since you use this forum as your "letters column" for the books you work on, would you mind passing along a compliment to the colourist, Ronda Pattison for me? I'm particularly captivated by the way she brings out the details in your work. It's very nice to see the attention given to backgrounds, like when Colin arrives home in the cab and all the buildings have different colours, and have shaded sides, and the window frames and trees and car lights and cobblestone sidewalk insets are all distinct, or the first page where the robotic villain (Arky?) is standing in front of the bank, and all the details around him are clearly accented.
You put a lot of details into your work, and she makes them really pop without becoming distracting to the flow of the story. It's a beautiful book just to spend time going back and absorbing once you're done reading it!
