While I feel weird saying this while also quoting the author I think the author was going for a butt kicking Nazi fighting good time with an emphasis on Nationalism amongst the superheroes. Which is a cool idea, but not what I expected from the cover and blurb.

I do like Nationalistic superheroes, though, and I think this is an area that deserves more attention among superhero products. To that end I think Mike does a really good job of creating interesting, believable characters that represent their country.

The international politics scholar in me would *love* to see a product that really digs into the fear, paranoia, and security concerns of the Cold War as they relate to super heroes. The United States had a large military advantage throughout the Cold War, but it would only take one Superman-level character to force both sides to reevaluate that status. There's a lot of other material that could be discussed, too, such as the advantages of hiding or mis-directing the might of superheroes.
