Saga of Squadron Supreme

    (Marvel, 2006)
™ and © Marvel Characters, Inc.

The Squadron Supreme, originally portrayed as a misguided team of inter-dimensional Avengers foes, were an intentionally obvious copy of DC’s Justice League of America, with characters like Power Princess, Lady Lark, Golden Archer and others standing in for Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Green Arrow and the rest of the original JLA. And although the team continued to appear sporadically, including in their own limited series, they never achieved the popularity of Marvel’s other groups. But that all changed when author J. Michael Straczynski completely reinvented the characters and their world in Supreme Power, as part of Marvel’s “for mature readers” Max Comics line.

Featuring excerpts of material originally published in Supreme Power and it’s spin-offs, Hyperion and Nighthawk, this special is an in-depth summary and guide to the revamped characters and their still-developing story, and acts as an introduction to the new ongoing Squadron Supreme title.
