"This is a fascinating and ambitious series, one that covers 60 years in the span of 24 issues. I like a lot of its ideas about superheroes in a more realistic world and actually wish it had more time to devote to its story. This could have easily run a lot longer and there are a ton of stories to tell. It's plagued at times by some inconsistent art, but the characters make up for that."
