Figure we may as well do this shit right.

I've been doing minor plot synopses for [URL='http://the-golden-knight.deviantart.com/gallery/27923659/Hero-Team?offset=72']Hero Team. Because Jay somehow, miraculously, manages to be less artistically competent than CWC's Sonichu, as well as being a less-competent writer, I thought it would behoove us to get a thread going on general synopses of each episode (I did the first ten already) and our own personal observations on various episodes. In this thread, we will go over various things we've learned from the various episodes, and we'll ponder what each means for the greater whole of the world that Hero Team takes place in, and for the work as a whole.

Things I learned in the first ten issues:
1. Hero Team is utterly impossible to follow without Jay's descriptions in each panel. I dare anyone to read through the first ten issues of Hero Team and figure out what's going on without Jay's absolutely enormous text dumps explaining everything in every panel. It's very clear that Jay fails at sequential storytelling, but I don't think many expected the degree on display here. When your work makes CWC, pre-crisis Gonterman, and fucking Moleman look coherent, that's a hell of an accomplishment.
2. There is no explanation on who the hostile forces are in the first ten issues. I am now about 12% of the way through the comic, and I have no idea what on earth the heroes are supposed to be fighting. There's talk of Brutes, and we even see one of these mongreloids on page 9 or so, but we still have absolutely zero context for what's happening here.
3. A nameless mayor is in charge of a super-powered team of soldiers that are at his beck and call. Jesus Godbear Christ, this sounds familiar....
4. Casey's Orgasm-face in Issue 2 continues to haunt my nightmares, as is the fact that she killed an unarmed man who was no threat.
5. The first ten eps are rife with Halo references. The weapons are all weapons from said game, including the sniper rifle Amanda uses, the laser cannon Casey uses, Jay's assault rifle, and so on. The armor is called Spartan Armor, and the enemy mutants are called brutes.
6. The entire time I was writing the synopsis of the first ten episodes, I was imaging an autistic version of the COPS cartoon. With an MA-17 rating.

So, fellow analysts of the Auric Autist, I ask you: What insights did you glean from the various issues of Hero Team? What bits of lunacy did you find that were espeically worth laughing at? Was there any issues that really struck out to you as being especially odd, horrifying, laughable, stupid, or some combination of the above? If so, post your findings.[/url]
