Man thats sweet. Powers is one of the 2 marvel titles i would still read.So can you please save mine Infromation and sent me a P.M. when the new line is going to press. So that I can put a pull out for them. If you can thanks. But please post a reply thread letting me know.

Squadron Supreme to be precise started waaaaay back in the eighties with Marvel's New Universe it was an attempt to piggy back on Crisis. The stories are right out of the "Superhero Team" play book it's not bad just unoriginal. Read Exile's King Hyperion story to understand how much of BADASS he really is the way he kills Magneto, Rouge and pretty much every one else on that Earth is drop dead funny. You also learn a he's got NO METAL in his body this was very very very very bad because it rendered Magneto powerless.

I envy you, being able to read that classic for the first time.

You certainly don't have to read every prior appearance of the Squadron for background, but I would recommend checking out Defenders # 112-114 if you can. It would give you some appreciation of how the Squadron's Earth got into the state it's in as Gruenwald's series begins. Should be able to find them very cheaply on eBay.

Thanks for the recommendation. You saved me from starting a thread asking if there was a prequel to the series explaining what happened to the Squadron's world.

I've really been enjoying it. The backstory would be great!

Rep to you!

You might also pick up the Avengers: Serpent Crown TPB, reprinting Avengers #141-144 and 147-150; that gives some earlier background, not immediately pre-Gruenwald story but helpful too.

A few Squadron members integral to Gruenwald's story first appeared in the Defenders issues: Power Princess, Arcanna, and Nuke!
