REVIEW: Steed And Mrs. Peel #1

Or – “Will It Be A Smashing Debut, A Crashing Bore Or Other Britishy-Sounding Things?”

There will always be a special place in my heart for ‘The Avengers,’ as I used to watch when I was a child.  I had no idea who or what they were, or the history behind them, or even that John Steed had accomplices before (and, for that matter, after) Mrs. Peel.  All I knew was that the actors were charming, the plots were engaging, and Diana Rigg was utterly beautiful.  After the dreadful movie adaptation, I had worried that there would never be another adaptation of the adventures of Steed and Mrs. Peel, and certain not one written by comics legend Mark Waid.

Sometimes, it’s good to be wrong.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
