Comic plot~

In May 1962, the superhero Astonishman triggered a worldwide cataclysm known as The Green Event when he attacked and destroyed an alien ship at the bottom of the ocean. Led to believe the ship was a communist nuclear facility by the villain Dead Lexington, Astonishman detonated a nuclear missile in the ship detonating the power core and releasing a wave of radiation and knocking the Earth off its axis. Three billion were killed by the radiation while one in ten thousand of the survivors would later develop superhuman abilities. Thor, a god who remained on Earth after all of the other classical gods left and the only being whose power equaled Astonishman's, went missing on the same day and was believed dead.

Picking the best of the superhumans, Astonishman formed the Squadron of Righteousness to repair the damage done to the planet and to protect humanity against the other superhumans, now supervillains, who used their new abilities for personal gain. Eventually the supervillains of the world joined together to eliminate the world's superheroes in an event known as The Day of Annihilation. Astonishman and the remaining superheroes escaped to Astonishman’s Citadel of Seclusion where they remained hidden for 12 years. Known as The End League, the heroes have spent this time focusing on survival and searching for the Hammer of Thor, Mjolnir, which they believe can save the world.

More like Hulk as Thor

And I can see a Cap/Hawkeye combo for some reason ermm

This looks promising, sadly its happening when I can't afford to add more books, especially with the major labels events coming soon. Maybe I'll consider it when it's collected.

It's certainly Cap with a dash of someone else though.

lol you talkin bout the fact he is HUGE like the hulk, or talks like a retard? cuz he talks like that cuz he was lobotimized into an attack dog.

I read the first issue. It screams cliche nonstop but it's far from bad.

I personally enjoyed the first 2 issues quite a bit -- the artwork was very enjoyable in itself... *shrugs*

Luke Skywalker?

It seems like kind of a fun pastiche of standard comic elements. Haven't given it a try yet. Might give it a read through next time at the comics store and buy the two issues that are out if it impresses me.
