Your review was tight and pretty clear on what was there and what yout thought was good and not so good, and I thought it was pretty informative (I'd already bought the book, so its not really going to help me decide to buy it or not, but still). It might be nice to see a bit more in the summaries, but since I can't give any good examples of what I would add, it's probably just right.

I think I found the "Street Justice" chapter to be more useful than you did, since I actually like both the Monkey and Death and Taxes. I also though that the Meek was a very interesting concept that I'm going to use someday to put some PCs into a tough moral quandry.

I agree that Chapter Two "Against the Gods" was a squandered opportunity. Its not just the artwork either - it seemed to lack focus. I agree that the Legacy and Freedom City 2525 chapters were probably the best genre chapters in the book, but I thought that the Claremont Academy chapter was not quite as weak as you indicated (though I'm not as tired of the "teen-angst X-men academy" style of stuff as you seem to be).

I haven't really gotten to the crunchy bits yet, but I'm anxious to now after reading your assessment. Thanks again for the review.
