That Squadron Supreme cover is just such a contrast to the limited series. Seriously, if you have any interest in comics history and you've never read it, you absolutely need to read Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme. It really is a proto-Watchmen.
It's an interesting concept: heroes get tired of being reactive and instead proactively take over the governments of the world and work to eliminate war, poverty, hunger, and disease. It's a fascinating series. And by the end, the death toll is pretty damn high.
Everything is a reboot of a reboot at this point. I can't see how that would bother anyone. Superman meant something different to a 1930s audience than he does today, and everywhere in between. The publisher adjusts the characters for the era. Always has. A company wide reboot like this is particularly ambitious. DC has done it twice to my knowledge, with varying degrees of success. I'm glad Marvel is being quite ambitious with its all-new universe. Let's see if its just a stalling tactic before getting to the same old, same old.

I'm familiar with it, but never sat down to read it in full. It's on my TPB list. Probably get that and IG next.

Agree.

I think this speaks to the investment question right. I'm mean getting drawn into a character or title is awesome....until it ends. That, at least for me, has always been the difficult part of comics. I'm willing to jump back into Marvel at this point, other than casually reading over the last few years, I've mostly been going back to old stuff - Korvac, IG, just finished Civil War for a second time - (haha Civil isn't old, ok yeah it is) - but I've only casually browsed new titles, picked up digital issues here or there and kept up to date at best.
I want to go all in, so I kind of hope it sticks. Plus, I think grizzled Steve and Logan will be a ton of fun to move stories forward.
