    Short summary describing this issue.

    Last Gleaming last edited by sametattoos on 11/18/22 12:03AM View full history

    From the dawn of the 20th Century came a new chapter in mankind's history, unleashed during a time of great war and destruction.

    It was the beginning of the Age of the SUPERPOWERS, yet with the closing of the Second World War, this new spark seemingly flickered and died.

    Until now...

    Now the story can be told of the great lost SUPERPOWERS -- men and women with incredible abilities who changed the course of mankind forever...

    and who had been thought lost ...

    Until now...

    Now, DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT and Alex Ross unleash the SUPERPOWERS! This explosive #0 issue features a story crafted by Justice collaborators Alex Ross and Jim Kruger, joined by artists Stephen Sadowksi, Doug Klauba and additional art by Alex Ross.

    The story of SUPERPOWERS begins here, in the present day with the Fighting Yank, coming to terms with the ghosts of his past and present! As our story unfolds, we journey to the heights and depths of the Second World War and come face-to-face with the great forgotten heroes of the ages, and solve the mystery of where these legends disappeared to after the great war.

    This is THE event of 2007, and it leads directly into the SUPERPOWERS series! Issue #0 is where it all begins and features 28 pages of story and art PLUS a full SUPERPOWERS color sketchbook by Ross and original Ross interconnecting covers - all for just a buck!

    A fantastic issue to commence a series that is sure to be just as good. The cover art is breathtaking! The inner art is just as good and the script leaves you satisfied. When reading this comic you feel as if you are a part of their world, right off the bat. It feels as if you've known it's people for as long as you've lived. The Flying Yank is no exception, he is the key character to this story and you feel as though you would have made his same, awful choices. It's wonderful, feeling such symp...

    Best Relaunch 0

    Project Superpowers is an exciting relaunch of beloved characters from the early days of comics. These characters made my heartstrings tingle. It's like watching Superman: The Movie for the first time. You read these pages and especially the thoughts of the Fighting Yank and it really could make your eyes swell. The story is told from Yank's perspective and surprised me that there was discord and confusion in what "patriotism" means to different generations.The truth is there are different sides...

    My thoughts on Project Superpowers: " Last Gleaming." 0

    Project Superpowers is one those you really like or you really hate and I don't do reviews on things "I really hate." so here is my Thoughts on Project Superpowers.1. For me it has some that same vibe as DCU's Terra Obscure vol 1 & 2 with most of the Charters in it .2. The story is good because it pick up years after World War Two when theses heroes for lack of better term just faded away into history where they are forgotten about as far fans go.3. like Terra Obscure fans don't have to go...
