It seems like we're still being introduced to all the characters here. First there's McKenna and Strom. All we really know about them is that McKenna can split himself apart in to two people. Then we have Sally Dwyer and Dale Smith. Sally appears to be able to talk to the dead. And Dale is calling himself Kid Empty. Basically he seems to feed off a persons life force. Also Hope, she used to be Lex Luthor's bodyguard, is going to be mixed up in all of this somehow. She's in Witness Protection now, but John Henry went out to talk to her to see if she could give him any more information on Lex's Everyman project. And of course we have Natasha, John Henry's niece, who last issue became incorporeal. John's trying to find her energy. But he's not having to much luck so far. This issue he asks for Superman's help, but he can't find her either. I like the way Peter Milligan is writing this story. I expected us to just jump right back in to the group thing with this series, but he's playing it out the way it would probably go if you had super-powers one day, and then just an average Joe the next. The physical and psychological trauma that these kids are going through is tremendous. John Henry is just starting to see the tip of the ice-burg. But obviously he's going to be taking a more active role in helping these kids overcome this. Max Fiumara is the artist. I've never heard of him before, but I like his style. I'm not sure where we're going with all this, but so far, I think we're on a pretty good start to the ride.
