| "Superpowers #0" |
The project, described by Dynamite Publisher Nick Barrucci as "being in development for the last three years," has now been released and marks the return of a host of classic Golden Age heroes and villains, all under the creative and artistic direction of Ross and writer Jim Krueger. Many of the featured characters have not been seen in many years, they have been brought back from obscurity. They have all have been drawn and designed by Alex Ross, including Fighting Yank, Green Lama, The Death Defying ‘Devil, the Black Terror, Masquerade, The Flame, Mister Face, Samson, The Scarab, The Owl, the Claw, Pyroman, the Arrow, the American Spirit, the Crusaders, the F-Troop and more.
Somehow in the comic world both DC and Marvel have left the creative world and keep doing the same thing over and over to their heroes. How many times can you kill and resurrect, have a universal crisis, a world war, the redefining of a character. Jim Krueger and Alex Ross have made "Project Superpowers" a new exciting look at some old classic heroes with a modern look at the heart of a hero and the depth of evil. A good read so far, art and story is outstanding and shows the proper respect for these super heroes. DC and Marvel should treat the heroes with the dignity that is shown by Ross and Krueger within these pages. Superpowers #0 is only a buck see if your retailer has a copy or go to the Dynamite Entertainment site and buy. Let me know what you think. Stay tuned comic faithful for MORE.
