The biggest issue with this book is that it is a HUGE disappointment. Preachy and basic, the book misses the opportunity to really create something of interest. Rather than actually create new superheroes, most of the pages are devoted to a "discussion" of identity, culture, and race. That would have been MUCH more interesting if the contributors couched it - the discussion - in more compelling narratives. Oh well.

Nice effort but I don't think it's very good. Some stories are pretty decent but for the most part, art is subpar. I read it. Nice effort but I don’t think it’s very good.
