Rating: Summary: Rejoice, ye multitudes. The Cyber Age is upon thee. Review: Have you ever tried to find superhero based novels that are the author's creation? That aren't based on anything you see on the comic books stands? Well then look no further. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Cyber Age. With a constantly changing website, gorgeous artwork, and some damn friggin' good stories, Cyber Age Adventures is definately one of the few good works of superhero fiction out there. But this is a review on the book. =) Although I didn't find the three chapter method to be necessary, these stories were originally posted as a 3-part story with the website/fan mail. But the flow of each one is still very well done. Each hero has his or her flaws that make him or her just a little bit more human in nature. And the use of the super abilties in new and interesting ways make it for an even more interesting read. For superhero fans out there, I'd recommend this in a heart beat. For those that like superheroes, but don't want to buy monthly, overpriced comics, then grab this book while you can.
Rating: Summary: A fascinating and original new look at the genre. Review: I checked this out on a lark, in the mood for something light and harmless. Instead I found an absorbing series of stories about a diverse cast of characters. It's superheroes for grownups, superheroes who have problems with their parents or their friends or their jobs or their car payments that are as real, and sometimes more dangerous, than their problems with the supervillain of the week.I was really impressed with this anthology. The authors show a lot of talent and a lot of promise, and they've made a credible attempt to make the superhero genre into a literary experience -- without sacrificing innovating new powers or exciting fight scenes. It's definitely worth a look.
Rating: Summary: Welcome to the future of superheroes... Review: My dear fellow Adventurers, We all grew up reading comic books and loving superheroes. They've become part of Americana, even an important part of world culture. But, sooner or later, most people outgrow comic books. A lot of that has to do with the fact that many exisiting comic book companies continue to tailor their stories toward a much younger market. But what about you, the Reader? What about the millions of people, just like you, who still enjoy superheroes, but no longer read comic books? What are you to do? The answer is Cyber Age Adventures. These are stories for a more mature and sophisticated audience. For YOU. In this book, you'll see why we were just named the 3rd Best Fiction Magazine on the Web and why TipWorld called us the next evolutionary step for the superhero genre. Forget what you think you know about superheroes and join us in the Cyber Age of adventure!
Rating: Summary: A fascinating and original new look at the genre. Review: True heroism is not about flying at the speed of sound or walloping the bad guys with expert martial arts ease or blasting through concrete with fist-propelled laser beams. No, true heroism comes from within, and the 'within' is all-too-human... all-too-real. This is what CyberAge never fails to tap into: the human reality, the power we all have and that we can all grasp onto, if only we choose to do so. The fantasy of these stories is undeniable, but the gritty realism hidden beneath is what makes them breathe, what makes them move... what makes them important. A must read!
