Dark Horse Heroes Omnibus Volume 1

Dark Horse's foray into superhero comics was a bit of a mess. There were some interesting ideas here - I love the way that the action is broken up into four different locations, each with their own unique feel - and there were some interesting character designs as well.

However, the collection also suffers from being something of a disorganized mess. Dark Horse tried to supercharge a superhero universe in 16 weeks with as much depth and content as Marvel and DC built over decades. As a result, even after 400 pages the characters feel flat and paper-thin.
