Well, we're moving right along with this series. Personally, I think Alex Ross and Jim Krueger are doing a much better job of explaining whats going on with this series, than the did with the first. I think the first series, and all it's various minis, really just introduced us to this huge cast of characters. This time, were getting more of the picture of what's actually going on in this world and the various sides. First we have this new group of heroes that have arisen out of the urn. The problem is, they been out of touch with the world for the last 50 years. So their view of it is kind of skewed by their ideas and notions. Those ideas and notions came from a completely different era . . the 1950's, so . . they are really out of place and trying to adapt to the world around them. Plus, now that they've been out a little while, they seem to be going through some secondary changes that are affecting their powers and abilities. Now, as far as the new world order goes, it appears that everything is being run by the Supremacy. They claim to be acting in the world's best interests, but . . they're really just lining the pockets of it's 8 or 10 members. On the opposite side, we have a terrorist organization called the Claw. So far we don't know what their purpose or origin is. And then the new threat on the landscape is Captain Future. He's recently made his presence known, but the problem here is . . Captain Future is actually Zeus. He's trying to re-exert his power . . show everybody who's really in charge. But none of the 3 sides are willing to lie down for him. So now we have the heroes putting together their own group to fight Zeus. While the Inheritors are gathering up some of the more broken heroes . . for some reason. And the Supremacy have put together their own super group, led by Dynamic Man. They're called the Super Mystery-men. And their target? The Superpowers group. Like I said, I think this series is a lot easier to understand that the previous one. There's not so much introductions, and more story-line. Not to say that they didn't have that in the first series, but . . at the same time we were just trying to get a handle on all of the characters. They've thrown an awful lot at us right from the very beginning. Edgar Salazar does the art for this book. And as I've said before . . I think his stuff is improving with every issue. He's turning in to quite the artist. I enjoy this book. I just don't know if I can keep up with a whole brand new universe. I'm not sure that my time or budget will allow for it. But . . we'll see what happens. So far . . it's kept my interest.
