Summary: The saga continues
Review: Babylon 5 creator and Amazing Spider-Man scribe J. Michael Straczynski continues his brilliant and mature look at Squadren Supreme characters in this second collected edition of Supreme Power. Government pawn super-human Mark Milton, AKA Hyperion, has learned the truth behind his origin and to say he isn't happy is saying it lightly. After a cataclysmic battle with Joe "Doc Spectrum" Ledger, Hyperion is a man on a mission against the people who have manipulated him all his life, only the government has their own plans on how to deal with him themselves. In the end, Hyperion's salvation lies in a powerful, beautiful, and very naked, woman named Zarda who may hold the key as to just why Hyperion is here, and what he is destined to do. Culminating with Nighthawk and the Blur on the trail of a super powered serial killer, all the main players appear ready for the next stage as questions are answered, but even more become raised. Straczynski's story gets better and better and more complex with each passing page, illustrated by Gary Frank's superb pencils which gives the book a definitive look. All in all, Powers & Principalities continues one of the most impressive stories in the mainstream comic world available today. Pick up the first volume Contact and then pick this up, it's brilliant.

Summary: Volume 2 only gets better!
Review: Supreme Power Vol 2 was a much anticipated release for me and I couldn't be more happy with it. Following the path of Mark Milton and all the secrets revolving his arrival on Earth is total excitement!

I won't give away any of the new twists, but there is a very interesting serial killer plotline developing. Although some questions from Volume 1 are answered, finishing this book will only leave you with more questions than when you started, which could be looked at as either good or bad. To me it's thrilling!

If you enjoyed the first book you owe it to yourself to read this book!

NOTE: There is quite a bit of nudity toward the end of the book, so beware kiddies!
