iffer's review against another edition
2.0
2.5 stars.
The main character, Mark, who is an average Joe (or maybe below average, at least in his vocabulary), is chosen to inherit the mantel of the superhero Imperial. The current Imperial basically says Mark has to choose between becoming a powerful superhero who saves the world and marrying the woman whom he loves.
There was nothing really new here, and I found the first issue or two fun and funny, but it didn't hold, even though this was only a four issue run. I did like that Mark's fiancee was a buddy girl who appreciated him, since often, in comics and light stories oriented toward guys, wish fulfillment leans toward cheerleader types.
