2.51 (416) Section Zero #1 ... Image ...

After the first big run of Image when their titles sell in the hundreds of thousands came a slew of more like real independent small press publishing. Except that since it is Image, the small press are not always by unknowns but by creators who have had some success and wants to show their own true creativity and Section Zero is one such series

It has Karl Kesel (Superman I think) and Tom Grummett (Robin) as creators

And it is basically about a super powered MIB or perhaps a different take on the Hellboy and his team of investigators because here we have a super powered team whose job it is to investigate strange phenomena and either resolve or recruit them. Naturally you need a chick to strut her stuff and a gruff guy and a team weirdo and finally the kid ... and some mysterious men in suits who sits in their offices and lots of grunts who get their asses handed to them

This comic checks all the above ... and yet something feels missing ... the art is decent, the story is decent, the characters are somewhat interesting but nothing quite clicks ... now on re-reading this for the third time ... I still cannot understand why I never bothered to buy issue 2
