ETA: I have read issue 1 of "Zemo: Born Better," and while I question the sanity of anyone who wants to interview Zemo face to face for a thesis, it was excellent. And helped.

Cover: I don't care if he mugged Gridter's tailor, I love Jack Flag's outfit.
Page 1: Ooo...Melissa's turn *remembers Karla and braces herself*

I'm sorry, who is this? *paging Melissa Gold! Paging Melissa Gold! Your spine would like you to come come to the lost and found desk so it can reattach itself!* No, seriously, I'm SO VERY HAPPY we DIDN'T have over a hundred issues of her growth and maturity that made her into a strong and capable, if not troubled, woman, leader and hero. Because, you know, if we had, this meek and passive wuss would be a case of terrible character butchering. Also? Her sex life is none of your business Norman, thankyouverymuch.
Page 2: Norman dear, I'm going to rip out your spine and beat you to death with it. Then give it to Melissa. Enough with calling her an untrustworthy traitor and harping on her sex life. at least Karla got to be Karla until it was "necessary" to have her cave at the first hint of domination from Norman.
Page 3: Jack Flag! Nothing happens, of course.
Page 4: What...is Radioacrive Man wearing(yes, I know it's a contanment suit...) Thank you for 2 pages where 1 panel would work.
Page 5: Blondie, who are you? You aren't Karla, that's for sure.
Page 6: And so I fell asleep as nothing happened...
Page 7-8: Oh look, explosion. I'm glad we needed a 2 page splash to let us knowthere was an explosion mentioned 2 pages ago(why is the only one I care about the guy about to get mauled?)
Page 9: Thank you, Warren Ellis, for undoing allthe work done on Karla and Andreas. I'm so glad both are just flatout "break his bones and make it hurt" villains and haven't have any character devlopment and growth. Jack Flag is cool, though.
Page 10: Jack Flag is cool. That's all I got.
Page 11: Since when is Venom the mutant spawn of Pitt and The Hulk?
Page 12: *sleep*
Page 13: *bzzt. Miss Gold, your spine is still waiting atthe lost and found desk!* KARLA! SHUT UP! Which is something I never thought I'd say to you.
Page 14: Aww...Jack...why'd you do that to Melissa...she's the only one who doesn't think your entrails would look good on the Christmas tree.
Page 15: Radioactive Man, your brain seems to still be functioning. Go grab Melissa and hoof it for...somewhere this stupid current Marvel status quo doesn't exist.
Page 16: *bawls* Robbie...Robbie what...have they done to you...For a guy all about punishing himself for a stupid thing that he wasn't responsible for, Robbie sure seems fine with destroying city blocks...
Page 17: The only ones with morals are the unconscious girl and the guy about to get mauled...
Page 18: Mauling part 1...so glad these are the "good" guys...
Page 19: ... ... ... Die Karla, just die. ellis, you have made me hate Karla. Be proud of yourself.
page 20: And thank you for regressing Andreas back to his first appearances. I'm so happy a large chunk of Fabes's latest run WASN'T devoted to developing his character and giving him a persinality and identity and growth.
page 21-22: Get out of my book Norman. Please.
Sigh...and yet...I'll get it again...

The superhero training camp is built on the spot the New Warriors died, and Luke Cage's idea of a good intro speech is about how the Warriors suckedsuckedsuked and the recruits are New Warriors trash and will be made worthwhile humans and heroes like the Avengers. At least Vance is...displeased...about that.
