Here's the dumbest thing, people moaned that Supreme Power went too slow. 
I didn't agree with any of them, as each comic issue had something major 
happen. Now we have this breakneck pace of Squadron Supreme.

Inertia's history didn't impress me much. Her father was a far over the 
top, unless such animals are on record as existing while keeping a status 
as leader of a community. As far as history goes, I guess Tom Thumb is 
left, unless he's still up Shape's ass.

What I'm dreading is the Ultimate and Supreme cross over. How will that 
go down?
