Finally read this for the first time last weekend; one of several trades I picked up. What a cheerfully trippy read - the most fun I had reading in a while.
It was Grant Morrison's first work at Marvel in 2000, and maybe it was where J.G. Jones first made his artistic mark.
A reminder about Marvel Boy/Noh-Varr:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noh-Varr

He's made appearances now & again in places like The Illuminati (where I first read him), and just made a crucial appearance in Secret Invasion.
Usually I dislike characters with surnames like Boy or Lad - that cheesy Legion Of Super Heroes trademark. He's a very cool exception.

Noh-Varr is cool indeed, I quite liked the mini myself.

You cal tell the series was pre-9/11, when the opening splash page of issue 2 has Noh-Varr destroying the UN building with that big wrist launcher, declaring war.
The World Trade Center is visible as he calmly wrecks the city.

Yeah, but 9/11 & the World Trade Center was the first thing that came to my mind, it looked so symbolic. Makes me think if the series was published a year later, it would be drastically changed.

Hah, great scans in there! I wanted to see the best of him since he got incarcerated in the Cube, and how he ends up running the place.
