review 1: After reading this you understand why superheroes is a visual medium. The novel contains all the elements of a classic golden age set up - a mixed superhero team, an industrial magnate cum super villain and aliens. And if this was written during the golden age it would be an enjoyable novel; but it wasn't written during the golden age. Comics have grown and matured over the past 40 years, if this was put into visual form it would be slated for lacking depth of characterisation and linear plotting. And its way too long. Go out and buy Astro City instead.
review 2: Even though I'm three quarters of the way done with the book, I can't go any further. I will recommend Christopher's "Empire State" until the day I die, but this one is not money or time well spent. Yo... moreu get plot twists you see coming four miles away. You get weak motivations for huge character transitions. Then I'm supposed to believe a psychic superhero is able to be immune to radiation by chalking it up to...I kid thee not..."somehow"? No. Not going any further. I am hugely disappointed. less
