    I wonder if Mark Millar knows that they don’t speak Spanish in Brazil. The premise was good, but the execution was poor. And the way Korea picked the ambassadors was stupid. I honestly don’t believe that these were the most worthy individuals. It would’ve made more sense if she picked the names out of a hat while blindfolded. The spy on the inside was completely predictable. And it didn’t make any sense that with the base in Antarctica destroyed that everybody still kept their superpowers. Your Apple Watch will not work if the local cell tower is off-line. I don’t remember the ambassador from Mexico getting an origin story. He just kind of shows up at the end without explanation. The whole thing was very British commonwealth. Or at least you’re a centric. France, the UK and Australia, get ambassador’s, but almost nobody in global south except for Brazil. The entire continent of Africa get no one

      I mean indian did. And Mexico didn't got story because even him don't know why.
      The reason seem shallow to be requirement . Mother issue and being gay isn't good reason . But the Indian story proven why he won't betray the team.
      Executive could be better. Could have show why this team was good enought not betray each other

    So the Mexican teammate is called "Chico blanco"? Are you kidding me? It´s like having a texan friend called Kid White. Que mamada.
    Besides of that awful made up name, i kind of seeing a pattern of Mark Millar´s comics, he likes to come up with this interesting ideas but they are kind of half baked so other writers can develop the idea more in an eventual tv adaptation.

      @DaRealXXLSlayer true, different styles and purposes I suppose, I guess my ADHD brain just wants to know wtf happened in the comic, and not hear someone wax poeticly about how "fkin cool, and epic" jubilees look in a comic panel and how it's a throwback to issue 128 of uncanny xmen. Honestly, I subscribe to comics explained for the xmen issue recaps because there are so many crossovers/series and storyline, hard to keep up, I guess you need to keep that energy going for that amount of content/backstory to keep your audience entertained. I like both channels for different reasons.

    The story was boring, it was interesting in the beginning, but then once they introduce the two rival scientist, it became utterly boring, and then, each introduction of each hero, got worse and worse the only interesting character out of that whole series was Jamie and they sidestep his story to introduce a scientist who had power bands, and then wrote the biggest problem with the power bands into the comic series is that if someone destroys the base where you’re holding the power bank, everyone is just stuck with those powers that they already had, and the fact that they could not share powers of one person had was using a certain power. No one else could use it.
