Le premier numéro n'était pas mal du tout.
On voit qu'il y a des détentions dans le groupe.

dommage qu'ils sortent cette série trop longtemps après 52, du coup elle risque d'en pâtir énormément

Pas faux !

en plus hormis 2 ou 3, je ne connais pas les autres, ca aurait eu surement plus de succès que four horsemen ou les autres minis de l'époque
