Sheldon Sampson, known as the Utopian, and his friends gained powers after an expedition in 1932 and became America's first generation of superheroes. Decades later, their grown children are wasteful celebrities, and a conflict arises between Sheldon's strict code of never killing or ruling and his son's wish to act more forcefully. Mark Millar and Frank Quitely examine heroism across generations.
Good for readers who want a superhero story about family and politics rather than costumed fights. It is an accessible entry point for those who know Millar from Kick-Ass.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
