(W) Mark Gruenwald (A) Bob Hall & Various (CA) Alex Ross. On an Earth much like our own* the world's greatest superhuman champions are confronted by a society in ruins. Faced with the possibility of a new dark age for mankind* they choose the only course available to them and take control of the world's governments themselves! Now* they have one year in which to completely restructure human society. Can their plan succeed? Will a renegade member bring about their downfall? And what will happen when this Earth's mightiest heroes find themselves becoming instead its all-powerful* totalitarian overlords? Before Watchmen* before MARVELS* before Kingdom Come there was Squadron Supreme* a deconstructionist parable of the super-hero paradigm in a real-world setting considered by many to be the late Mark Gruenwald's finest work. Collecting SQUADRON SUPREME (1985) #1-12 and CAPTAIN AMERICA (1968) #314.
