  The incident involving Death-Defying Devil could have been written for any generic hero, but the creative team make it intrinsic to the character. Angry at his imprisonment, he looks at Paris turned into a lawless third world country and acts to change things. When he raises his boomerang, it's a moment of classically depicted heroism.

  Project Super Powers #2 was another strong read. Krueger and Ross continue to impress me with their hard work on this title. While The Twelve continues to be a dull, dry and uninspired read, Project Super Powers has provided an enjoyable ride. I would certainly recommend giving this title a try. It offers up such a balanced story that it should appeal to a broad cross section of readers. Read Full Review

  I've enjoyed the story so far, but I have had a harder time becoming invested in the characters than I have in similarly themed books like Agents of Atlas and The Twelve. It also seems as if there's a significant amount of backstory that I'm missing and by the looks of things, will likely not get told by the time this miniseries ends. I look forward to seeing how big this cast of characters gets before all is said and done, but I hope the storyline can expand and develop to make me have feelings about some of these characters, good or bad.

  I'm hoping this series rights itself back on course. It doesn't hurt much when you start a series from issue #1 and it's a crappy book. But when you start a series off as spectacularly as this one did and hit a rock with the storyline, well, it's a complete downer. Carlos Paul and Alex Ross deliver the goods on art, once again - no complaints there. But this story needs a fixing. Read Full Review
