The Elementals debuted in Texas Comics'  Justice  Machine  Annual
#1,  and  they now have their own comic at ComicCo.  IT IS GREAT!
I  absolutely  recommend  it.   Willingam's  art  is   good,   if
distinctive.   The  villains,  by the way, also appeared in FGU's
Villains & Vigilantes  super  hero  roleplaying  game  supplement
Deathtrap   of   the   Destroyers,  written  and  illustrated  by
Willingham.  Iron Maiden has been replaced by Chrysalis,  who  is
visually much more interesting.

The characterization of the villains is excellent, but the heroes
and extras are well-handled too.  This just shot to the top of my
list.
