Squadron Supreme (2015) - James Robinson
- By Any Means Necessary! - Collects issues #1-4. A team of Squadron analogues from various Earths, having little in common except that Namor destroyed their worlds during the Secret Wars extinction event that culminated in Battleworld, get together and become purveyors of rough justice. As in, raising Atlantis and throwing it back into the sea, and decapitating Namor. I like the variety of characters, but I don't care for Robinson's melodramatic dialogue and endless exposition, and as always, I think deaths of established characters are cheap ploys. [3.5]
- Civil War II - Collects issues #6-9. The group rescues Weirdworld from the clutches of Modred, apparently now a bad guy. Nighthawk leads the team to a cabal of alien races smuggling weapons on Earth. Also, Dr. Spectrum comes face to face with Toro and Black Bolt, the man who destroyed her Earth but also saved her life. Melodramatic and talky, and the alien cabal is a weird story. [3]
- Finding Namor - Collects issues #10-15, the end of the series. Warrior Woman, who turns out to be from the Squadron Sinister Earth, and Modred plan to use Dr. Doom's time machine to bring Namor back to life so they can rule together, for some reason. The squad breaks up her plans, but with unforeseen results. Robinson's exposition and psycho-babble is on full display here. I do like his homage to the Agent Diana Prince era of Wonder Woman, but I hate it when non-powered characters hold their own against powerhouses. I also like the array of guest stars, including Blue Marvel, the original Torch, etc. Robinson is good with revitalizing comic book lore, but not exactly a high-caliber writer of dialogue or plot.
