The Twelve, and The Twelve :Spearhead one-shot prequel
Being a big JSA fan, like our feline friend here, I wanted to do something similar, but without a direct crossover, and so I decided to read a Marvel equivalent. The story is often referred to as J Michael Straczynski’s attempt at doing Watchmen, but I think that’s a bit too critical, as to me it reads simply as a very good JSA-type book, featuring extremely obscure, Z-list Timely characters, rather than the JSA’s more A-list level, DC Golden Agers.
An interesting range of characters, personalities, of problems adjusting when thrown into the modern age, with a murder mystery on top.
Good stuff.
