Of them, I got two... The Teen Titans Lost Annual and The Twelve.
The Annual? Great.
The Twelve? Not so much, but I gave it a chance. If you liked Agents of Atlas (and I did), go read that instead of taking a chance on this. Basically, they wake these guys up ala Captain America from WW2, and then nothing happens except they all love the government. Oh, and of course there's no mention to them that Cap's dead, even though they were all fighting with him on page one. Oh, and for some unknown reason, the narrator (The Phantom Reporter... I swear to God) kills someone at the end which comes from nowhere and is never explained.
Excelsior?
Ugh, wait, it's Golden Age characters but not set in the Golden Age? Bleh.
Oh, and for a good bet... try The Umbrella Academy and Doktor Sleepless on for size.
One's whimical yet disfunctional.
The other is where they told Warren Ellis to write about a beloved mad scientist of the future that wants to control the world...again.
Need I say more?
I loveThe Umbrella Academy, but Doktor Sleepless leaves me completely cold. Which is odd, since I'm one of Warren's biggest fans. It feels like he's retreading ground he's already covered in Lazarus Churchyard, City of Silence and Transmetropolitan...I do have faith that Dok Sleepless will read better collected, but we'll see...
The Twelve is...interesting. Not much to it yet. But it is a twelve issue series. I may give it some time to develop. The last page certainly upped the ante. Some of the characters names/costumes seem kind of silly, even for Golden Age, granted, but I think the story's got potential.
