| Again why would you give a great comic book a star rating? The person who did this should study golden age comic books more before they give it a rating! |

| I don't think this is a great book, but I do feel it is very good. So I gave it 9 stars. I think the stories about real heroes are done with sensitivity and respect. They are not bad.
The superhero stories are a little farfetched (actually a lot farfetched) but still entertaining. I especially like Penrod the new sidekick for Music Master.
Man of Metal is my least favorite character. Every time he turns to molten metal, his shirt burns off, but not his trousers - how strange. |
