 Halcyon (Comic Book)
comment
Halcyon, originally announced under the name of Utopian, is a superhero comic published by Image Comics, premiering in November of 2010.The premise seems simple: what would superheroes do without crime? Super-team Halcyon is destined to find out - their world has mysteriously become 'nicer' exponentially over the last nine months. Crime is practically at an end. Armed conflict has diminished to the point on non-existence. The 'would be ruler of the world' and Halcyon's primary enemy just turned himself in on television.What happens to them now? Are they out of a job?The series is co-written by Marc Guggenheim (Amazing Spider-Man) and Tara Butters (Reaper) with art by Ryan Bodenheim (Red Mass for Mars) and Alisa Tager (Serenity).

Cast of Expies
 Halcyon (Comic Book) / int_62ec4b15
comment
Cast of Expies: A good chunk of the cast are clearly based on other famous characters: Sabre is Batman, with shades of The Punisher. Enos is Beast, with elements of Brainiac in his design. Zenith is Supergirl. Psiclops is Jean Grey. Appearance-wise, she resembles Storm. Oculus is Doctor Doom. Jarhead is basically Captain America as a marine.

Meaningful Name
 Halcyon (Comic Book) / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Superhero naming convention aside, "Halcyon" means "peaceful" or "calm". The original name of the comic was Utopian, which became the name of a city in the book.

Flying Brick: Zenith, the World's Greatest Hero. This is horribly subverted by Triumph. We are initially lead to believe Triumph is flying at the start of one of the issues. However, it turns out she is killing herself by jumping off a building.

Start of Darkness: The entire story was one for Sabre. It turns out that he's so hell-bent on having someone to fight, he'll even fight a perfect world. Oculus knew this, giving all his resources to Sabre, who has become the new Oculus at the end.
