3.5 stars. The art was the good and the stories were interesting, I was just expecting more of an overall narrative.

This is the story of a man who becomes a minor supervillain, and I really enjoyed the exploration of the mindset a minor supervillain might have. It paints an empathetic picture of a character who most comics would've dropped in without much thought.

And, this is the same strength that makes all the Astro City comics as enjoyable as they are: they give a greater depth to character types we've seen incarnated in various ways in other comics.
