(I read this a few years ago so forgive me if I don't remember all of it. Here are my thoughts on what I recall.)

I think I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. What probably turned me off most about it was that it was too campy. I prefer my superheroes to be darker, more serious, more grounded in reality:

Not goofy and punny:


And that's what a lot of this book was. The only deeper parts were the waaaaaay overused trope of using the alternate identities of a superhero as a metaphor for being gay. Bryan Singer did it much better in the first X-Men movie, btw. Much. Better.

I could have done without the romance element, which was again cliché since you have the hero-falling-for-the-villain-but-they-don't-know-who-the-other-is-beneath-their-masks bit. *Cough* Batman and Catwoman *cough*


Apparently, the , so I guess we'll never find out the rest of the story and the few unanswered questions will always be left up in the air.
