Before Captain America, before The Twelve, there was The Aviatrix, The Operative, Achilles, The Revenant and The Surgeon! What drives these five heroes to pull on masks and take to the rooftops of Manhattan? What dark conspiracy not only brings them together, but threatens to tear the America apart? On the hunt to solve a brutal murder, our champions will smash their way from gleaming penthouses of privilege to squalid alleyways, as the full horror of their enemies’ schemes unfolds! Get ready for an action packed, edge-of-your-seat and in-continuity super hero adventure like no other when Marvel’s first champions take the case this June, only in Mystery Men #1 (of 5)!

The Surgeon? Taking a scalpel to the bad guys? Huh?
Sounds, and looks promising. I am willing to give this a shot.
Love the “pulp” era! In the words of the great philosopher Bugs Bunny…”Love it! LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE ITTT!”
Did you ever read the MARVELS PROJECT? Great pulpy stuff too.
still pissed at marvel for not finishing the twelve series.
I’m with you, Gilberto. The Twelve was an excellent series. The writing was tighter than a dress on Kelly Bundy.
I’ll give this one a shot, though. If they have my attention after only 8 pages, let’s see what they can do with more.
Yeah, well, being Marvel and cancelling great books they’ll have to cancel this one after only 2 or 3 books.
