Greatest Hits #1 (OF 6)
/cover-large.jpg)
Meet the Mates! They're the greatest super team of all time, straight out of England and into our hearts: Crusader, The Solicitor, Vizier and Zipper. But who are the heroes behind the mania? How did they meet? And what's next for The Mates? You'll find out in this fab 6-issue miniseries written by David Tischman (BITE CLUB) with art by Glenn Fabry (NEVERWHERE, PREACHER and HELLBLAZER covers) that pulls back the curtain to reveal the men behind the masks.
GREATEST HITS looks at The Mates, from their humble 1960s beginnings, through the drug-fueled 1970s, and into the techno '80s, the grungy '90s, and to the present day. This is The Mates from the height of their glory to the depths of excess, as filmed by a struggling Hollywood director – one with his own dark ties to the team.

Vertigo's first (real) super hero title. Could be great.

Hmmmm...not sure about this. Fabry is a brilliant artist but who the fuck is David Tischman?

I thought this was a pretty cool concept, but I didn’t feel it was executed as well as it could be. Maybe it was just because this is the first issue and it was laying a lot of groundwork. I’m game for at least the next issue.

Was I the only one who thought the pace was strange? How each scene seemed unfinished?? It'll probably make sense in the next issues.

good first issue. typical verito type book which is a good thing in my opinion. i think it's worth picking up issue 2.
my only problem is that this is going to have a lame ass acid trip scene. i hate those goddamn things. hopefully the story will make up for it.

So is this based on the Beatles then?
