Ever since the first League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series came out, people have been creating their own combinations for later versions of a League they'd like to see. For the pulp era, this would definitely be the combination I'd look for (along with the Shadow, who apparently Azzarello couldn't get permission to use, even though he's an established DC character). But seriously, Doc Savage, the Batman, and the Spirit teaming up with the Avenger and the Blackhawks? YES, PLEASE! I did have a few issues with the story, like the unnecessary and (to me) unwelcome intrusions of modern technology (cell phones, jet planes, etc.), even though it's claimed that this story takes place post-WWII. Still, a fun, pulpy comic book tale involving some of my favorite heroes of the age. Worth checking out. EDIT 3/28/20: Just did a second read-through of this one and it was truly striking just how bad the timeline is skewed based on the characters' origins. Batman has been active a month, while the Spirit (who didn't pop on the scene until after Batman) is well established. I understand they're doing their own thing, but anyone familiar with the source material for the characters is left dizzy trying to organize things in their own minds. Still, viewed as a wholly unique story, it's still a fun read. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Interesting attempt to bring pulp heroes (Doc Savage, the Avenger) together with near-pulp characters (Batman, the Spirit, Rima) that sadly did not inspire more than the titular First Wave.
Even though it failed to grab more people's attentions, it was a fun read with solid characterization that captured each of the individual heroes. The villains, alas, were the weakest part of the story in my opinion, but ( )
