Flash Gordon: King’s Cross #1 is a great introduction to a team up series. More often than not you’ll find team up books falling into the same traps. They bog themselves down by going to all kinds of lengths to show us how and why each of the team members decided to join forces. Often there will be some kind of misunderstanding that must be brought to a head and then resolved before the team can actually focus on the true problem. King’s Cross skips all that, instead the issue focuses on showing the readers who the heroes are as individuals, giving us glimpses into their personalities and styles.
