So our heroes stage a last stand against The American Spirit. And win.

Really hard to say much about this issue. It feels like Ellis ended his story and left it totally open for someone to carry on or just ignore it and reboot Project Superpowers again.

In this the penultimate issue I think Ellis finally reveals how this is connected to the previous Project Superpowers series.

Seems while trapped in Pandora's Box the heroes realized they could escape to another Earth. One with no heroes. But that had versions of themselves. So they are trying to come over and take over their other selves bodies.


And The American Spirit is trying to prevent them from escaping. Kind of like how in the first series he is the one that trapped the heroes in the box.

The guy from issue one who set himself on fire returns. Right as Black Terror and Lady Satan are trying to figure out how to dispose of a body. Seems the guy is now possessed by the Flame.

And another agent gets attacked by the American Spirit.But the big thing is the deputy cop gets visited and I assumed possessed by the Women in Red. Who seems to say all the heroes are stuck in a prison,and this American Spirit that is coming is a kind of prison guard.

This is making me think that maybe this is all happening while the heroes were stuck in Pandora's Box in the first Project Superpowers series.

The agent reveals to the local cops the secret about the Black Terror analogue. WHo leaves the hospital with Lady Satan.

Then we cut to an old abandoned mansion. With a very Bruce Waynish man coming home after being gone for years studying abroad. He is contacted by who I must assume is the Green Lama.And allows Lama to take over his body.

Back at the medium who Lady Satan has possessed home,her boyfriend returns and attacks Rob AKA Black Terror. Which causes BT to punch the guy's jaw off.

So half way thru this series and I seem to have gotten a decent amount of the plot. The art this time seemed to have a bit more detail.

Seems Lady Satan has crossed over. Our Black Terror analogue,who is in the town under witness protection program,gets a letter bomb. Which burns the Black Terror's skull and crossbones onto his chest.

And a government agent who was leaving town gets ordered to rush back.But on his way back runs into the American Spirit. Who kills him and mutters some cryptic shit.

The story thankfully is moving along at a decent pace. And I don't feel totally lost.

TITLE-Project Superpowers Blackcross #01
PUBLISHER-Dynamite

I have enjoyed all the previous Project Superpowers stuff,plus this having Warren Ellis at the helm,so I had to get this. But knowing how Dynamite is with delays I waited until the series was over to even attempt to read it.

This issue has a very Twin Peaks meets Project Superpowers feel. Set in a tiny NW town. With Lady Satan making an attempt to come over,from what I have no clue. Someone who I think is the Black Terror analogue. Dead body's with Stars and stripes clawed into them from The American Spirit. And oddest of all a man who self immolates.

The art is your standard Dynamite decent. Like Avatar to me lots of the art in Dynamite titles looks very similar.Can't really say much about the story so far,since this issue was just pure setup.

2015 Reading Challenge Book 074 Project Superpowers Chapter 2 volume 1

TITLE-Project Superpowers Chapter 2 volume 1
AUTHOR-Alex Ross & Jim Krueger
FORMAT-Trade Paperback
FIRST TIME READING-No
PRICE-$3

This series picks up pretty much where Chapter 1 ended. The heroes have taken over DC and NYC. But we see that all the sidekicks are now back. Hiding in some Eastern European country. And are of the mind that the returned heroes have been brainwashed.

So we got that plotline going on. Plus Captain Future has returned. Going around killing people. But it isn't until he shows up and majorly injured Samson that the heroes realize there is something majorly changed about their old friend Captain Future.

Once again the art is good. The writing is well done. And I love how many new heroes are crammed into these 7 issues.

Project Superpowers Chapter 2 volume 1 gets a 3.62 outta 5.
