I like it for its "Silver Age pastiche" quality and don't expect it to do anything but reach my inner child as these kinds of comics are supposed to do. Maybe you were expecting the Alan Moore of WATCHMEN when you picked up TOM STRONG, Dave, but that's not what was either promised or delivered. Moore is writing pure pastiche in the adventure genre is all, no more or less, and he's proven that the craft of the 8-page story has not been lost after all.
The earlier issues were great, but the more recent ones haven't given me the same childlike feeling when I read them. Tom Strong's Terrific Tales seems to be better as far as quality goes, though you can't beat Chris Sprouse's clean lines.
