Supreme Power #8 (spoilers)

[4AD_Punk]

At first I didn't like Hyperion that much. Admittedly, because he is the Superman archetype, and I've never been a fan of popular marquee characters. However, Supreme Power #8 finds me liking the guy.

My favorite part was when Hyperion--with glowing eyes, of course--says, "Now it's my turn," and proceeds to wipe the floor with Dr. Spectrum.

I like the character development for Hyperion: he is struggling to identify himself and wants honest answers about his origin and purpose. In addition, I am taken by what an innocent--yet naive--character he is (when he visits the confession booth). I was glad to read that Hyperion always suspected the American government was lying to him--that he isn't a dumb lug.

I think issue #8 was too short. I'm interested to see if and how Hyperion gets his "answers".

Now, here's my conflict: although I have all the issues, should I still buy the trade paperback when Marvel releases it? It's coming-out in either April or May.

It depends if the TPB comes with "extras" like sketchbook section (I LOVE THOSE!!!) or if you see yourself referring to the series so much that you should get the trade to keep your series in good shape....I think marvel is shooting themselves in the foot with putting out TPBs so quickly...I know I won't be getting any new series because I can wait for the trade a few weeks after the series is over....

Personal reasons for me I won't be getting the trade the series to me has been *meh* up until this issue, and I am still waiting for the REST of SS to show up....
