First, Infinity Inc. must find a deranged killer on the loose in Metropolis -- but is the killer another product of Luthor's demented Everyman Project?

Then, Steel springs an unwelcome surprise on the team in the form of an unwanted new member and uniforms! But it's one thing to dress like a team, and another to act like one. Before they even have time to break in their new spandex, the kids catch word of a monster in the Pacific Northwest.

Reviews

[Kathleen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I love the Everyman project and the heroes that stemmed from it, but this book feels flat and it isn't just the art. Steel is great and I can see him running a team, I can even see him running this team, but he doesn't do much to connect and neither do the rest of the characters. The narrative is alternately heavy handed and confusing, which would matter less if any of the characters had a driving arc that made sense.

I would not particularly recommend this book, which is a shame because it's a teen superhero team with diverse characters. It could have been good.

No llega a la altura del primer tomo pero sigue siendo muy buen comic, lástima que el olor a cancelación se siente en varios números y eso empieza a resentir la calidad de la historia toda. Si no me equivoco, si consigo el #11 ya tengo la serie entera. A revolver se ha dicho.

By this second volume, I was somewhat bored by the book's quirkiness and not too unhappy to see it disappear.

enjoyable yes its superheros with issues yes its mutants but its got a lightness of touch which isnt always there in every comic

[Lightwhisper · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think it's a different concept of superheroes and it faces a lot of challenges. I am curiuos about the rest of this comic, because it has a lot of potencial. The arts are great!!

As good as this book series started off, this one was just plain awful.
