I Love The Work Of Art Adams But I'M Pretty Sure I HATE This Comic Book



American Idol for superheroes? I don't even want to be near the concept."

I hear you Kal. I just read the first issue of similarly premised "America's Got Powers" last month with art by Bryan Hitch and it was AWFUL!

Also it feels like this idea is late to the game. Back in 2005 Image put out a Reality TV Super Team book called "Wildguard" and it was FUN! The stories were lighthearted and entertaining, the characters were diverse and likable, there was great sense of fluidity to the action, it played on both TV and Comic Book Tropes creativelt, and its protagonist was a Red Haired Girl with Fire Powers. Oh Yeah! Do yourself a favor and check it out:
