Wish I could give a half star to this. The problem with this OPUS is that it's very uneven. It begins well. I liked the seemingly scattered initial issues which were basically laying out the story of how only a finite number of child came to have special powers. These "specials" are also nicely developed in that, like real people, they don't all handle it the same way and not all the powers are fully evident from the start. The art is so-so, best I can say on it. It's sometimes hard to tell which character is which and there's are too many attempts to harkon back to Image splash pages from the 80s. Even so, the most egregious item are the obvious attempts by the author to share his political views through his characters. I really felt at times that the author -much like Aaron Sorkin- suddenly became so impassioned with a view of his that he decided to dedicate a whole issue to it, taking a step away from the story lines in place.

There are far better compendiums out there. Pass on this one. ( )
