5.0

Kurt Busiek makes superhero stories feel fresh and new by approaching them from a different angle. The stories are usually told from the perspective of the non-powered, ordinary people who live in the cities that the costumed marvels protect or he approaches these super-powered beings as people first in his storytelling. It grounds the stories and makes them more related to us who weren't bitten by a radioactive insect or landed on Earth from some distant planet. His stories deliver entertainment and insight into the human condition.
