review 1: So far, I'm feeling like this series is a lot like Joe Hill's Locke and Key - not in the subject matter, but in the general outline. Due to the action of demons, a group of otherwise likeable characters is pushed to the limit, revealing monstrous flaws. Despite them, they still try to act like heroes, with greater and lesser success.At first I thought, "Well, OBviously I like Locke & Key better." And I do. But the more of this I read, the more I had to accept that each series has separate strengths. Here - pacing never gets short shrift, the way it does in L&K, which I much appreciate.
review 2: In the first volume, we saw the world's greatest superhero become a worldwide menace and begin hunting his former allies. Now that the stakes have been established... more, Mark Waid expands the series mythology with revelations about one of the Paradigm's past missions, one partly responsible for the Plutonian's transformation. Waid rises to the challenging task of creating heroes which are interesting both as the idealized superhero team they were and the broken, conflicted people they become. Peter Krause does an admirable job as the series artist, making the interactions between characters as visually dynamic as the action sequences. This volume is a quick read, but this is one series you will want to read repeatedly. less
