Project Superpowers #0

Project Superpowers #0 by Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, Doug Klauba & Stephen Sadowski.

This is a bit of a cheat. Unlike the other comics, which I paid a cover price of 2-4 dollars on, this comic only cost $1.00 when it came out in 2008.

It is the prologue to a grand story that Alex Ross and Jim Krueger came up with. Basically, they took a whole bunch of comic book characters that had fallen into public domain and bring them together in present day with an explanation as to where they have been since their stories were last published.

It's a pretty epic tale (the whole thing, not just this issue). Worth noting is that there is a complete story here. It isn't just 3-4 pages of story and then sketches like a lot of preview/prologue comics tend to be. There are 28 pages of story and then 4-5 at the end that are pinups/sketches.

I grabbed a couple of copies to give away (I tend to do that when I see discount comics....like the time I gave away 70+ Fantastic Four comics) but some how managed to bag and board this one with my own copy.

Well worth a $1.00 for the cover, let alone the story. So even if you don't get it from me, get it if you see it.
