Just caught this on CBR -
"Dynamite is honored to announce that Warren Ellis, one of the greatest and most respected comic book writers in comics, will be working with Dynamite for the very first time! Warren Ellis plans to take control of the Project Superpowers universe in late 2014, as Dynamite Entertainment continues to celebrate its 10th Anniversary..."

But I liked Project Superpowers. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy??? :'(
-
There's been at least one webcomic that tried to do something similar to Project Superpowers. I really want to do a revival comic myself but I don't have the money to finance a third webcomic, unfortunately.
-
Is Pro. Superpowers still running? I thought it had gone dormant or something.
I don't mind some of the things that Ellis has done in the past. I'll give the first issues a look.
-
It went dormant. Maybe Ellis can improve it, but we'll see.
-
So .... they're "rebooting" a series that first came out .. like 7 years ago. Just get on with it.
I like the idea, no the execution of the original.
needs more Grim Reaper ...

It seemed to me that the problem with Project: Superpowers was the tendency to just throw various characters out there just because they could, without any noticeable plan for what they might do with them. After several issues of "Oh, look--there's Amazing-Man! What's he going to do? Nothing much, it seems.", only replacing Amazing-Man with a different public domain hero every couple pages, it got hard to follow what story there was with all the "flash card" hero distractions. I think they'd have been better off if they'd just picked a cast and stuck with them long enough to make it thru a story arc, instead of leaving us with the sense of "Hey, we've got every Public Domain character we can think of--try and guess if we have a story to put them in!"
-
Agreed. There was no HEROISM in the Project: Superpowers, and that's fatal for a superhero.

I think Darkmark put his finger on why I did not like it
