Rated by buyers -
This book, a collection of the second wave of stories featuring "amalgamated" characters from Marvel and DC, is, in short, just so-so. The very first wave introduced us to fun characters like Super-Soldier (a Superman/Captain America cross), Dark Claw (Batman/Wolverine), and Amazon (Wonder Woman/Storm). It was a new experiment and a pleasant experience. The second time is not as fun; tons of back-story knowledge is required to understand the significance of any one character. Most of the fun and energy seems to be missing.
There are, indeed, redeeming factors. The story "Super-Soldier: Man of War" is set during WWII and has some endearing guest stars. "The Dark Claw Adventures" emulates the art and story of the super-popular animated Batman series. And, as always, it is an intriguing comparison of some of the finest heroes of both universes. Fans of the very first series will want this book for their collection. Anyone else will want it as a coaster for their cold drink.
