2016 Comic Challenge 037 D.P.7 #02

TITLE-D.P.7 #02
PUBLISHER-Marvel under their New Universe imprint

Yeah the New Universe.Also known as Shooter's Folly. To celebrate one of their big anniversaries Marvel created a new imprint. Set in the real world,with a few minor changes,the New Universe was a good idea that wasn't executed right.

D.P.7 was one of the more popular titles of this imprint. After the White Event a group of 7 people are at a clinic in Wisconsin. All of them have developed powers. And like the X-men some of them would rather not have the powers. Like Scuzz. A teenager who's sweat is full of acid. So he is constantly burning up his clothes. And also can not touch anyone.

In issue 1 our leads found out the clinic they were at had sinister purposes for them. So they ran away. And in this issue end up facing a group of mercenaries the clinic has hired out to find them and bring them back.

Some where's in my collection I got a complete run of D.P.7. And every few years sit down and re-read the entire run. One neat thing is you can almost see this title as a dry run for Jim Shooters Harbinger title at Valiant that came out almost a decade later.

D.P.7 gets a borrow. Unless you find it for a buck or less then it is a Buy.
