Super-Villain Team-up: MODOK's 11 #1 (of 5)

One-sentence summary: The verbose title hides what might shape up to be a fun team-up of B- and C-list villains in a villain's variation of Ocean's 11.

MODOK's 11 contains much of what can be expected by the title; MODOK is gathering fairly forgotten villains (it was weird to see the Spot in two different titles in a week, particularly after what can only be years of inactivity) in order to pull off some sort of heist, more of which will be explained in the next issue. This issue consists mostly of the gathering of the villains, which in it of itself was pretty amusing.

Possibly by borrowing directly from Ocean's 11, this has been pretty well-progressed so far, with a good introduction to most of the characters without spending too much page-space on them. It also contained a flashback sequence in order to illustrate that, yes, MODOK is truly evil, and we shouldn't forget that. All in all, pretty good, and I'll be looking forward to the next installment; I'd recommend this pretty easily.
