    Best Relaunch

    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 of American patriotism. From the most liberal to the most conservatism, chances are everyone thinks that they are most patriotic than the next guy. For the Fighting Yank, he has been haunted by his past actions as a superhero but that's only part of his torment. The Yank is literally haunted by his past Fighting Yank ancestors, one of which is the spirit guide who is basically like a sixth sense. Each war that has passed with American involvement, there has been a Fighting Yank and those spirits have culminated into one American Spirit.

    Project Superpowers #0 is a lengthy introduction worth the price for the exceptional storytelling and some of the most brilliant Alex Ross artwork you'll ever see. Of course, the artwork is really a team effort but it's Ross classic style that makes you feel like you can reach out and touch the capes of these intriguing characters.

    This spandex tale will hopefully be just the thing to introduce readers to Dynamite Entertainment. They may be a lesser known publisher but because of its wide variety of genres, there's bound to be a DE title for everyone. For the fans of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, Project Superpowers will be the title for you to add to you subscription lists. Plus, if you head over to the DE website, you can download some spiffy wallpapers and such.

      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...

      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...
