The problem is it'll end up getting frequently compared to The Boys, even though The Boys took a LOT of inspiration from Marshal Law and has the same commentary (ie "superheroes wouldn't be effective in war and demean the troops")

Well, in Marshal Law commentary was more like: "American post WWII and Vietnam era media sucks"
The Boys is more just: "Superheroes are dumb 'em i right?"
And, well, we are can speack not only about a plotpoints - Marshal Law has a unique world and bizzare visuals with it's own sence of humore

For all the shit that The Boys had, don't act like it didn't have a point.
The entire point of the series is that the superheroes are not the bad guys, it Vought and the US military industrial complex

Did you even read it or are you just being obtuse on purpose?

i'm not trying to say, that the boys didnt have a point or a message. Ennis is a great writer and i love his works, and i like the boys, and series was great, but, let's be real - we all know why The Boys did even exist. Marshal Law, for me, it's more thoughtout work with more intresting points and themes

Marshal Law's initial arc was great, the next one less so, and on and on until it became pure shit.

Let's not act like anything after the first arc was well thought out or had any point to say other than "haha superheroes suck".
The only other two arcs that I can say had some merit were the not-Batman arc and the Aliens arc

can't agree, but i see your point. I kinda like the later stuff, just fun and creative goofy visual comedy.
And how Savage Dragon just come to Marshal and like just give him a good talk and that's was the end of the Marshal's conflict. i think thats great!

The early stuff was it's own universe, but as it went on, it just became more and more meta-commentary on Marvel/DC and more a stupid parody book.
I don't have anything against parody comics, some of my favorites titles are send-ups of comics.
But I don't feel it served Marshal Law that well.
Kingdom of the Blind was kinda pushing it, after that it was just bludgeoning you on the head with it's mockery of the Big 2.

Honestly this looks more like a detailed political cartoon than a comic page.

Sure it looks great and it has a lot of personality, but if you look at the story it burned itself out on the first arc.
I mean let's talk about that arc from that image, it was literally nothing more than "comics were disrespectful to the soldiers", "look at how these senile heroes act like it's still the 40s" and "wow these dumbasses had a bunch of lame powers".

Thinking about it The Boys suffers from the exact same problem but in reverse. Everything before Russia (and maybe a bit afterwards) is nothing other than Ennis making fun of superheroes in an edgy way, but the longer it went on it toned it down and focused on the actual story

yeah, i don't even wanna argue with that, cus i agree, but comics, like any form of art, is more than just script/plotpoints.And again, Marshal Law steel has so much potential and room for improvement after the first main arc, and that's well point of this thread, i suppose

The problem with continuing the story in Marshal Law is that you can't really do anything to change the status quo.
The last arc kinda emphasizes it
