I’ve read Dynamite Entertainment’s Project Superpowers issues # 0, 1, 2 and without trying to spoil it, I will admit I like the series so far.

Issue 0 was a stand alone issue set in World War II, and stars the Fighting Yank. Overall the issue was great, and the only fault I found was not naming the characters in the story by their given name. By this I mean we see the visual, but at no point do we hear their name or who they are.

In issues # 1, 2 it picks up in the present day and the consequences of issue # 0 are dealt with. Dynamic Man makes key appearances in these issues. As well as the Black Terror and the Golden Age Daredevil.

Their are also nice two page spreads by Alex Ross showcasing a bunch of Public Domain characters by name.

My only fault in this otherwise enjoyable series, is that it seems to only be a setup story. And the characters don’t have enough room to really be fleshed out and developed.

Black Terror only has expressed anger to just about everyone. I hope this is not going to be the personality they give him, because it’s going to get old real fast if he’s only just angry all the time. While Daredevil we have yet to know what he is thinking. Since his story so far is only visual and not his thoughts.

I guess that’s the nature of this series, as a setup point.

And since these characters will continue at Dynamite Entertainment after this storyline, I hope to see issues and stories just devoted to characters solo, and to develop their own identity better.

And I think when they have time, they should develop a profile and story listing these characters specific powers. For instance the Black Terror has had different levels of powers, and I want to know which version Dynamite Entertainment is working with.

Is he Superman level in power, or just a little stronger then the average person.

What are the specific powers of Scarab? I want to know the details and what abilities these characters have.

And those are just examples of a few characters.

Overall the series is good so far, even if the characters don’t have time to develop much cause they are all sharing limited space.
