there are layers and layers at work here, and boy does it take it's time in approaching different perspectives with care
Can't wait to see where the series goes...hard to believe this came out in the mid 2000's...
I loved the concept of this story where the superhero identity is the dark past and not the other way around. It turns the superhero story on it's head and has a great time doing it. Subverting the magic of the genre so that it serves a story of political intrigue was so well conceived that I can't wait to read more. Fortunately, there are plenty more in the series (as opposed to Saga, which just started). I guess I'm a reluctant but completely confirmed Brian K. Vaughan fan.
