I better warn the wife. It could get messy.

I finally was able to get to the comic store today and get my copy of Trio #1. What a ride! It read fast paced and kept things interesting.

I really like the character of Rock so far and I felt bad for him, what with having to undergo a 20 minute transformation back to being human. Ouch! Nice touch of him leaving a change of clothes for himself and carrying cash on him. Smart kid!

Nautilus looks to be a cool villain and it should be fun to see where things lead with him. Unfortunately, we didn't get to learn too much about Paper this issue, but I found the call that Scissors got to be interesting. Maybe next issue will feature more on one of them, like this issue kind of had a "Rock feel" to it?

I really liked the idea of just dropping the readers into the whole shindig, rather than make us go thru the whole "issue 1 origin story". I've always felt that origins can be caught up on as the character(s) go along. We don't need everything thrown at us all at once; discovery is fun!

JB, you really knocked this out of the park! Excellent job, sir, and thank you for the entertainment. I eagerly await issue 2!

Two of the first three covers are homages to X-MEN covers, both by Dave Cockrum.*

Beyond that, the similarities to the FF are slight -- one could make equal arguments for similarities to the Doom Patrol, or the Challengers of the Unknown.

TRIO is the kind of superhero comics I like reading and creating, no more, no less.

* Tho the second was based on the interior art, in my first issue.

(I'm actually planning a reveal for the 5th issue that should explode some heads.)

Just read on one of the other threads that the first run of Trio may now last just four issues.  Does that mean we have to wait even longer to have our heads exploded?!
