On one hand...
1) Plot-wise, this seems reminiscent of Wanted
2) Millar's latest few books have ranged from embarrassingly bad to flatly uninteresting
On the other hand...
1) The first issue was not too bad at all
So I don't know. The endings of Superior and Nemesis (shudder) were so bad and his last Ultimates miniseries..es were so blah that I don't even want to bother with this book. But I loved Ultimates and Ultimates 2 (and Old Man Logan) so much that I can't not give it a chance.
Did anyone else read #1? The US (particularly New York City) have too many powerful superheroes so the villains decide to pack up and set up shop elsewhere. Like his other books, the strengths are in the little things - I liked how the guy was sent back to prison and he was talking to the guard like it was old times. Millar is good at that stuff. I think he's also good at taking a character's powerset and applying it to "real life" situations, and that comes in to play here, too.
So I'm going to continue with this, with caution...
