We are faceless. We are limitless. We see all. And we do not forgive.

Who defends the powerless against the GREEDY and the CORRUPT? Who protects the homeless and poverty-stricken from those who would PREY upon them in the DARK OF NIGHT?

When those who are sworn to protect us abuse their power, when toxic government calls down super-human lackeys to force order upon the populace…finally, there is a force, a citizen’s army, to push order BACK.

Let those who abuse the system know this as well: We have our OWN super humans now. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. And they will not be SILENCED.

We are your neighbors. We are your co-workers. And we are your children.

The Movement was billed as DC Comics taking on the Occupy Movement, it was to dive in to the 99%. Having read this first issue, I don’t see it. The series is more Teen Titans with a “C” list cast than a political tinged comic.

The comic isn’t bad at all. It’s good and a decent read. To see a new series featuring not big names, something new, is great. I think what it was pitched as, might work against it.

The fist issue is all set up. The series takes place on Coral City where powered teens have declared an area under their protection, directly confronting police in the first issue. This isn’t so much Occupy as it’s Black Bloc. There’s direct confrontation instead of non-violence and there seems to be some leadership, again not exactly and Occupy thing.

But, the series does seem to be setting the ground work for what would happen if powered individuals used their powers to help their local community. That could be interesting and something new.

While the first issue didn’t blow me away, it was interesting enough for me to check out the next one to see what Simone has in store for us.
