What he said. But yes, you should get it because it is also a very good comic that I look forward to every month.

Pick it up from issue 8 and get the first trade. Very enjoyable in that Early Spider-Man/Invincible vein.

Pick up the singles, it's worth it.... Solid storytelling, and the art is well done, Jay Faber is a nice guy too!

I missed this when it first came out but it'd got such great buzz that I'll be picking up the trade for sure.

I love it. Defintely pick up the first trade! It's bargain priced.

Plus for anyone already picking up Dynamo 5, you should all be reading Nobel Causes as well. I think its better, just my two cents.

I've been wanting to try Noble Causes for a while bu unfortunately my LCS only has trades 3 and up and since I don't like jumping in in the middle of a run I've just been putting it off.

You can start with trade #4, as the first three trades collect the first three minis. #4 starts the ongoing.

Both of these series are really really good. Dynamo 5 is one of my favorites, and I've been reading Noble Causes since the start of the on-going. Capt. Dynamo-s death actually takes place in Noble Causes, they share a universe, but haven't interacted....yet. Jay Faerber is an excellent writer, and the artists now are both outstanding. Some of the early NC art was not as good as it is now, but the story was still worth it!.

I reccommend you go buy them. Now. As soon as you can. :)

Yes! I prefer it to Invincible already. Great cliffhangers, art and character dynamic.

Yes! Dynamo 5 is totally worth picking up! I get it every month and it's one of the best things I read.

I already knew Jay Faerber could put together one of the most creative and fun teams in comics by reading his Noble Causes series, but this one is just icing on the cake.

Hey V!
Good to see you have comic greatness taste!! J/K You guys should totally do a front page interview or something with Jay. That's this one fans opinion though.

D5 #6 hits the stands this week. Run, don't walk, and pick it up. Try to get #5 also since it's the start of the first multi-issue storyline.

This is a great series, and well worth the cover price. :D

Here's a great reason to start getting this book, direct from the horses mouth (so to speak), also a great time to jump on board and get all up to speed at one shot:

DYNAMO BOUND!
Dynamo 5's first arc collected this October!
Following DYNAMO 5's multiple sellouts, Image Comics and creators Jay Faerber and Mahmud A. Asrar have announced the first DYNAMO 5 collection will be a massive 176-page trade paperback with the low introductory price of $9.99.

"With issue four's sell-out and the series' rising orders, it's obvious there's a high demand for the trade paperback," said Faerber. "We decided to go with a special low price, as I want as many eyes to see this as possible, especially with the new arc kicking off the same day!"

The trade, collecting DYNAMO 5's first seven issues, begins with the death of the world's greatest hero, Captain Dynamo, and his enemies' subsequent onslaught upon on his unprotected city. With no one to stand against them, his widow locates his five illegitimate children, each of whom have inherited one of their father's super-powers. Can these total strangers come to terms with their powers, their father's legacy and each other as total chaos erupts?

"DYNAMO 5 has been a tremendous success thus far," adds Eric Stephenson, Executive Director of Image Comics. "Between the issues selling out and the ecstatic reviews it's obvious the series' reception is overwhelmingly positive. We don't doubt that the trade will get new readers onboard!"

DYNAMO 5, Vol. 1: POST-NUCLEAR FAMILY (AUG071992) will be available for order in the August issue of Diamond Previews and will go on sale October 3 alongside DYNAMO 5 #8 (AUG072006) .

I just read the first 5 issues and all I can say is that I love this book, along with the invincible and wolf-man it's the only superhero book I'm ready outside of marvel.

can't wait to read #6 and #7.

My LCS was sold out of the trade so I ordered it from Amazon but it's taking a while to get here. I'll get issue eight next week just in case I want to start getting the singles when I've finishe with the trade.
