On [livejournal.com profile] octopedingenue's suggestion, I'm reading Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E.. I just finished the first issue. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't because I wanted to keep reading more. So I in the process, I cried a little instead.

Short summary: a group of ill-used and mostly-unknown Marvel characters form a team, quit SHIELD and act wildly and hilariously out of character while trying to save the world. Nick Fury Dirk Anger yells at them some. IT IS HILARIOUS. This, beating up people, and quibbling about the proper role of superheroes, is the story so far.

Good recommendation.

Please note I said nothing about its awesomeness levels, just its good levels.

In high school, I tried to explain to my (male) friends that movies all movies which were entertaining fell into two categories: good, and fun. Most action flicks were fun, but not good. Many films which are not action flicks are good, but not fun. A few very excellent films (Pulp Fiction, etc.) are both.

I don't think they ever got it.
