review 1: Great stuff. Exactly what you expect from Astro City. Retro heroes and villains in the background with a "real live" normal person (or persons in this case) telling the story. It's so different from a normal superhero comic but not something you would want to read all the time. The (non-super) human element just makes it easier to relate to the story than you do to Superman's or Captain America's everyday problems.
review 2: I love books that deal with massive events happening...in the periphery...and that's a lot of what Astro City seems to be about: unimaginable super-heroic events occurring at the fringes of the understanding of us regular folks. It doesn't hurt that the regular folk in Astro City are richly imagined and live realistically in a world full
... moreof Kirby/Ditko-esque unimaginability. Pretty awesome. I'm definitely going back to pick up the first few collections. less
