I just look at it as the introductory issue. Every other supporting book that led up to it is superfluous in my opinion. If you thought the first issue alone was slow then thats fine, but to discredit its merit based on its supporting material is a bit unfair as you said, DC does that with all its books. I like that DC allows its readers supplemental material if needed. My only exposure to these characters have been a couple issues of IC and Uncle Sam #1; maybe some old school pics of Phantom Lady. . . I don't feel hosed at all.
