Ratings and reviews

It's ok, but the origin stories are thin, the love story is lame, the plots are formulaic, and the dialogue is super cheesy. I think I like it more because I know what they become than what they actually are. Numbers 20 and 21 are finally written by someone other than Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, and that's the best story of the first 21 issues by far.
