I’ve seen various approaches to the .1 jumping-on-point issues so far: just exposition to bring readers up to date; leaving the main character out of it completely; and a comedy single-issue story. This is closest to that final approach, except there is minimal attempt at comedy here, as far as I can tell.
Gunshark Vacation & Murder 101: I found these two books at £3 each in a remaindered bookshop, and after really enjoying the end of Abnett’s Heroes For Hire #1, I was pleased to snap them up.
I confess that I didn’t buy this: it came as a free bonus with Avengers 10, which strikes me as a good way to promote something where you have some faith in its quality but fear it might not find its audience. They’re pretty much right to have some faith in it, I think.
