"I read this one cover-to-cover as I was flying back from Orlando. I seem to recall reading a Wild Cards anthology as a kid. This one has the clever idea of starting things off by having a reality TV show to determine the "next American Hero.""
"Though I read this prior to beginning my account here, I thought it only made sense to add it, as one of the other books I'm reading comes after it. I thought this book was well written, and it was a fun story with tons of interesting "mutant" characters tapping into a fairly real world."
"A compilation of characters in a superhero world dreamed up by a bunch of famous writers over beer & pretzels.
A dozen books later... we have this volume edited by George RR Martin.
In this book, heroes try to monetize their powers by going on a "Survivor-esque" television show. That concept, while painfully corny, served to setup the difference later in the book between the "TV" heroes and "real" heroes. In this case, the "real" heroes turn out to be the losers from the TV show, who band together to stop a genocide in progress in the Middle East.
I would have preferred dropping the entire TV show plot line. Too kitschy, too "pop culture," too corny."
