Squadron Supreme
J. Michael Stracynski is writing a major ongoing title for Marvel Comics called Squadron Supreme. It is a revival of Mark Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme. This was the first book to examine the role of superheros in society in a gritty and realistic fashion, paving the way for Watchmen, Dark Knight, Marvels, and Kingdom Come. The story is not set in the Marvel Universe but rather in our world with the addition of a limited number of superpowered individuals.
Squadrum Supreme is published under Marvel's Marvel Knights banner. Straczynski indicates that his scripts are very detailed, running 50 pages for a 22-page book. Gary Frank provides the art.
Straczynski's work with Squadron Supreme began under the title, Supreme Power. This portion of the story ran for eighteen issues and was published under Marvel's MAX imprint for mature titles.
After the publication of Issue 18 of Supreme Power, Marvel published two miniseries featuring Hyperion and Nighthawk (see below) before relaunching as Squadron Surpeme.
