This is a fun book. McDuffie and Colon are a great team and as far as I know this is their only time working together. The Kyle Baker issue is great as well. Marvel and DC should both be totally ashamed at how little they used McDuffie. I liked the stories of the more modern damage control, but the art just didn't do it for me. Great collection though.

I read this because the writer Dwayne McDuffie recently passed away and I saw him profiled on the Comics Tropes YouTube channel. But really the book was not for me. The bulk of the book was written in 88 to 91. It's written like a corny 80s sitcom. Maybe I would have liked it when I was 13? The last few chapters were with written in 2007 and they have a very different vibe and sensibility that I preferred. But still, I don't read superhero books so again... Not for me

Logistics!

I would've actually preferred more detail about the various procedures necessary to clean up after super heroes, but hey. At least there's something dealing with the aftermath of extreme property damage.

John and Robin are too good at everything, and that's a little frustrating, but this is mostly charming and a little weird. Recommended if you like the idea of super hero comics better than the reality of them (and double recommended if Hulk at a baseball game is for you).

Basically those who deal with the damage left behind by superheroes after all their superheroing. Stupid, fun.
