Wasn't expecting that with episode 1. I liked that it wasn't clear that Jason (only one I've seen yet) is a villain or a hero. I suppose the idea being in NA, that's really an irrelevant distinction.

Reminds me a bit of Heroes Anonymous and Common Grounds, and I mean that in the best way.

Higher Power must be pretty pissed off about all these wimps that keep calling upon him.

Reminds me a bit of No Heroics , except their sanctuary is a bar (well, other differences, but the neutral 'safe ground' part where the superheroes are very human is the same).

I want to see what comes next and that's about the best recommendation a comic book serialized story can get.
Nice post The Mouthchew.

A giant, giant win, was 6.
I want more. Lots and lots more-- which means they probably ended it at exactly the right place.

Great post. Somehow, I think I would prefer to see a serialized short story version or a one-act play version of it, but still -- I was totally hooked.

I thought this was great, too. It reminded me how economical good story-telling really is. So I'm torn between wanting more and knowing that "more" might ruin it...anyone else feel the same way?

This is why I gave up. One night, I got there and my mind wandered, and the whole place disappeared. I rarely leave my home now.
