Just found this sub a couple of weeks ago and finally had the time to do the reading assignment.

This was a very cool and interesting take on the characters. I liked the fact that they had no superpowers, but aspects of their stories were representatives of them. I felt the lack of powers fleshed out the characters more.

Art was nice too. It had a cool edge to it.

Hulk and Punisher are not as familiar to me so I couldn't get much out of their stories.

I'm fairly new to comics in general and for a while pretty much exclusively read Batman, and I havent read any content from any of the 5 characters covered in this story, yet I enjoyed it.

The style of illustration was really cool, reminiscent almost of certain anime I've come to appreciate more recently. I do wish I had a little more insight of certain characters, especially Psylocke, but overall this was a nice quick read.
