First Look: Steed and Mrs. Peel #1

Wow! It looks like Boom! has been having a rough year with titles. I'm guessing after the Outcast/Valen the Outcast incident that they didn't want to tangle with Marvel over The Avengers and change the name to this book to Steed and Mrs. Peel. Which I'm sure will confuse the audience greatly. I'm sure the fact that this is one of Grant Morrison's older works will help with sales regardless. I'll say right now that I didn't like it, it was okay and I'll go into it more on the review this week. Check out the book for yourself in the mean time.
