What makes a hero? Is it his actions, or is it the results of those actions? Powerless explores what it means to be a hero in very human terms. By re-imagining Marvel's most popular characters without superhuman powers, this story strips down to the core heroes we have all come to know and love. These characters - including Peter Parker, Matt Murdock and Logan - were fated to be heroes. Just because Peter Parker wasn't bitten by a radioactive spider doesn't mean he didn't do battle with a madman named Norman Osborn. Matt Murdock? Blinded, yes - but with no heightened senses. However, he did become a legal champion of the poor in Hell's Kitchen, and he did cross paths with Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin. And Logan is, of course, the enigmatic - and amnesiac - drifter on the run from his past.… (mere)

I love "What If" stories, so I had to pick this one up when I saw it on sale. It's not exactly what I had expected it to be, but it was still a fairly good read. It really helps if you're familiar with the Marvel Universe; otherwise, you're going to miss a lot of the in-jokes and random characters that show up in the story (Reed Richards, Sue Storm, who Mr. Watts really is, etc.).

I really don't know how I feel about the art. At times I thought it really fit the mood of the story. At other times, I thought that it just looked messy and dark.

The three stories of Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Daredevil are all interwoven together, but I think the best of the three was definitely Matt Murdock's. (

Second read and just as impressive as the first time. If you're not at all familiar with the Marvel Universe, you'll miss some of the jokes; for example, Reed and Susan Richards (Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four) are both doctors working together in a hospital. (

I picked this up because I love Michael Gaydos' art. It's not a very strong book, though. The tales have an interesting premise, but it overall just felt too gimmicky and the writing is nothing spectacular. (

An enthralling look at what the lives of Peter Parker, Matt Murdoch and Logan might have been like had they never become endowed with their familiar powers, through the eyes of a psychiatrist, Dr. William Watts, who becomes involved with all of them. As one might anticipate, the three eventually make difficult choices in their lives that demonstrate that their heroism is not dependent upon their powers. The true surprise, however, comes at the end, when we find the true identity of Dr. Watts (although I sort of saw it coming), and the story we have just read becomes open to new and intriguing interpretations. An interesting book, and nice art by Gaydos. (
