The American Way #5 - Wildstorm

The basic premise of this book is cool. A super powered team created by the government to instill Patriotism in the American Way. In theory it's good, but, you're working with people. People who have a hard time getting along under normal situations. Now they're thrown into a hyper exaggerated situation. And all their feeling and nerves are hyper exaggerated. Now set this story into the 50's. It's a decent book, but it's a little to preachy on the racism stuff for my liking. But I guess that's how things were back then. This kind of has an Astro City vibe to it. Except, the heroes, and the villians, are all created by the government. A govt. who is supposed to be in control, but in actuallity has no control. Like I said, it's ok, but it's nothing fantastic.
