10 Criminally Underrated Marvel Comics You Must Read

The Squadron Supreme miniseries from 1985 is a fantastic example of how writing in the decade was as the Bronze Age hit its peak.

Squadron Supreme is about a group like the Justice League (who the Squadron Supreme are modelled after), deciding to brainwash the world and become the rulers of the planet, but some members disagree with this and a resistance forms. This was the eighties' version of the awesome Injustice comics, except with not-Superman and not-Batman on opposing sides instead.

The miniseries sold well and did allow for the Squadro to really enter comic reader's minds, but the same year the final issue of the comic came out, another book would launch that'd make everyone forget about it - Watchmen.

Similar to when Nirvana hit the music scene, Watchmen's launch was a commercial and critical success that spelled certain doom for other titles of the era, including the now-neglected Squadron Supreme.
