I thought this was a great first chapter in this book. If you got the #0 issue, then you know what the premise of the story is. The Fighting Yank has gone to get his old friend the Green Lama. I'm not sure what his powers were before, but now he seems like he's one with nature. Literally. His only reservations are, in order to solicit the Lama's help, he's going to have to tell him what he did. Confess his sins, as it were. He actually thinks that the Lama may kill him. But of course he's over-reacting. The Lama wants to do what he can to help save his friends. Also the Lama knows where the Urn is, so he takes him to it. As they're discussing things, the ghost, the Spirit of America, gets frustrated and shows himself to the Lama. Something the Yank's grandfather ghost never did in all the time he was a hero. Anyways, they end up in New York at the Dynamic family's penthouse. He does indeed have the Urn, as well as some of the other collectibles from the heroic age. But he says he's removed all the magical influences from everything, so when the Yank breaks it, nothing happens. Then there's a fight. They find out that the Dynamic family are actually robots. During the course of the fight, the Black Terror reappears. So apparently they are coming back. Just gradually. Knowing what has transpired he's ready to kill the Yank. But they Dynamic Man throws him off the top of the building. He lands in the street below, and shouts back up, "Fighting Yank gets a reprieve. I'm not going to kill you until after I kill Dynamic Man." I'm glad the story will be unfolding gradually. With what they have planned it would be to many characters all at once. This way they'll be able to take some time introducing them to us, and developing them. There's a 2 page spread in the back of the book showing some of them. It looks like there's about 16 all together. That should be a hell of a family reunion.
