The Black Terror is on a one man crusade to save his friend Archie, the American Crusader. Well . . maybe not save so much as to put his soul to rest. Archie never made it into the urn, so . . the Supremacy has been using him for 60 years to create their unstoppable army of super-powered soldier. Basically . . they've been carbon-copying him. Over and over and over and over and over. And each time he loses a little piece of himself. When the Black Terror found this out, he had to go and save his friend. Or at least put him out of his misery. But to do so he's going to have to get past Dynamic Man, and then . . the whole Dynamic family. Black Terror takes one heck of a beating from him, but he keeps getting back up. And when the rest of the Dynamic Family show up, so to does BT's friend, Pyro. Basically . . he electrocutes them. But when all's said and done . . did BT really beat Dynamic Man, or did he play right into his hand? He's sure that the fury BT will feel when he finds Archie will lead him to either destroy the Supremacy, decimate the Crusader Corps, or destroy himself. Whatever the outcome, Dynamic man wins. The issue ends with BT entering the corridor and immediately being surrounded by the Crusader Corps. They come to him through 'doors'. So . . first he has to beat all the clones, and then he has to find the right door to take him to Archie. Easy-peasy! Alex Ross and Phil Hester write the story for this book. It felt like the classic battle between opposing forces . . between good and evil. BT has the best of intentions, but does he have any idea what's in the jar he's about to open? He may not want to know. Jonathan Lau does the art. I honestly think his stuff gets better and better with every issue. In this Project Superpowers opus, I have to say that I enjoy the solo titles better than the main book. The main title is a bit to convoluted for me. There's just to many characters there to deal with. With things distilled down in the solo-books, I think the characters are a lot more entertaining and engaging. But . . that's just me. But, either way, you have to admire the magnitude of what Alex and Jim Krueger are attempting here. It's nothing, if not ambitious. Good luck guys!
