Let's not forget this issue also has an Ape-man going to the restroom in a flying saucer from Uranus.
This series actually kinda reminds me of "NextWave" if it were taken seriously - the motley crew, the "secret agents on the run", the old school global evil organization, a robot-man who has stretchy limbs, etc...

The strangest thing for me was that I bought a copy of SUB-MARINER #57 (with Venus & Namorita) and read it for the first time just a few months ago-- and the story in there is referred to in the text article in the back of #2!

Is there any comic that can't be improved by a gorilla with a gun?
Enjoying this so far. But I'm a huge fan of comics that take up 'discarded' characters and breath new life into them (like the Thunderbolts).

I'm really starting to like the whole "Marvel's Golden Age" angle to this book. It's something DC has had and mined for a long time, but Marvel has always seemed to start from the Fantastic Four. The fact that these aren't retcon characters legitimizes their place in history and it's cool to think there's an unexplored corner of the Marvel Universe that's this fun and already has a history in place.
The Human Robot is becoming an interesting mystery. Aside from the fact that he may have his own agenda, he's certainly hiding something -- and he's got the best poker face. It's also interesting that he's the wild card - he wasn't in Jimmy's dream and thus wasn't "meant" to be on the team as originally planned.

I managed to get copies of # 1 & 3, and I **LOVE** this!
Yes, DC finally wised up and realized there IS a market for Golden-Age characters and I'm glad Marvel is attempting the same, outside of THE INVADERS and Captain America.
Loved the shot of the photos of golden-age characetrs that Jimmy was using to pick the team from. The Blonde Phantom!!
Female characetrs who run around topless kind-of annoy me, though. Venus needs to stop and the GAP or something and pick up a shirt.

Got the first three issues its ok, Uncle Sam is way better and I assumed the marvel Agents of Atlas would be the superior one. I don't think I'll pick up number four.

I'm liking this a lot as well. Kinda cheesy but fun. A bit slow getting going though, I think it'll be better as a trade.
DB's point about Uncle Sam is true though. Its not a fair comparison though. For me Uncle Sam has easily been the best miniseries of the year.
