After all superheroes are declared illegal, a bloody crime wave hits the city, with villains striking out at superheroes and vying for turf. Then, a hero returns in spite of the law, but is it enough? Includes a cover gallery and a black-and-white sketchbook.

Good "crime-of-the-week" stories..

I'm liking this one a little more, mostly because I can see what they're setting up. I sort of wonder if some of this isn't like the "Citizen Kane" problem, where crime stories with superheroes weren't really a huge thing until this came onto the scene.

Anyways, this one had some interesting stories, although the magazine articles in there are sometimes a little long for my taste. I wish I had more of a feel for the two main characters, but Deena is definitely coming into her own as far as character development goes.

I picked up the next two volumes from the library today, so we'll see how those go.

It's getting better but I am still not entirely hooked

3 stars

I definitely liked this better than the first volume. But I do have my issues with the way these two stories have played out. I like the "superhero police drama" genre quite a bit, but as far as mysteries go, I don't feel like I'm clued in on the case. The mystery is a little more drama-based than it is procedural, and I'd like a little more mystery action.

Still, I like the characters and the setting is fun, so I'll charge ahead.
