I love this book. It's definitely not as hot as it was back in the day, but nice copies can still fetch $10-$20. I pick it up when I find it in a dollar bin for sure.

Elementals was a good series.

A creative team that was fine on Green Lantern, but this was quite terrible.

I think one of those was a huge book back in my early collecting days,still has a bit of value..annual one maybe,first Elementals?

Edit,my brain was sorta on the right wave,but still wrong'.I must have picked both books up fromthe same discount bin same day

THUNDER Agents and 1st Elementals/ early Bill Willingham work?  It's a book worth having, even if it's not a big ticket item like it briefly was.

I feel like Joe Staton is underrated, on the whole...but this series didn't do him any favors.

It’s interesting art. Not quite a full-on cartoony style, but not what you’d call realistic either.

Yes, exactly. Highly stylized, but not as much as an "animated" style. I always thought it was unique, and a good fit on books like Guy Gardner. I liked his Green Lantern run a lot.

I saw this in the dollar bin in a thrift shop....

This would be a really hard sell in today's political climate!  Don't expect it to be optioned by Hollywood any time soon!

That would have to be a parallel universe story now.  Mainstream 616 universe, no.

I want that Captain Planet comic now
