This whole series is starting to seem a bit convoluted to me. There's just so many characters . . and so much stuff going on. The Supremacy has launched an attack on the heroes, through the Dynamic Family. They've sought out and gathered another group of heroes called the Mysterymen. They then send these heroes to the Pentagon to attack the Green Lama, Black Terror, and the rest of their group. Also, the Boy King and his group, gathered over in Swisslakia, have seen what's going on and have decided to enter the fray. They try to gather up the Mysterymen and take them back to Swisslakia. The Mysterymen don't really make much progress against the rest of the heroes, but they do accomplish their mission. When everybody appears back is Swisslakia, the Dynamic Family make their presence know. And they've got the President with them. That was really the whole point of this mission. Well . . that, and to hide the involvement of either the Supremacy or the Dynamic Family. Meanwhile, the Black Terror, the Ghost and others have found Truth strung up in New York City. The 'Devil is antagonized by someone claiming that he's a 'faker'. And in Greece, Mr Mask and his group are trying to assemble something that will help them beat Mr Future . . Zeus. This all centers around the Flame. It appears that his powers are actually the living flame that Zeus is supposed to control. And now he wants it back. The problem is . . they think the flame is alive . . and it wants revenge. I like this book . . and these characters. But . . my god is there a lot of stuff to keep track of in this series. Apparently Alex Ross and Jim Kreuger dug up all these characters from a line of comic books in the 40's. And now they're trying to fit them all into one book. Well . . except for the various mini-series. I like what they're trying to do. I'm just afraid that the scope is to big for this single title. But, I also understand that they don't want to expand until they see if there's a market for this. However, in the meantime . . this book is busting at the seems. I have to give it up to Edgar Salazar for the incredible artwork he's contributing, and . . the ability to differentiate between all of these various characters. It's gotta' be mind boggling. I'm trying to stay with it all. I'm just trying to decide if I think it's all worth the effort, or the expense. So far . . I'm in it. But we'll see how that goes.
