What happens when superheroes are forced into retirement? In this case, they move to a small town and live out their lives on a farm. Of course, things aren't quite that simple for these former heroes.
Lemire's writing is solid. I've read quite a few of his books, and they are consistently fantastic. Here, he explores the some classic superhero concepts with a twist. Their origins and powers are revealed over the course of the volume, and I found my interest in them shifting as each one got an opportunity in the spotlight. Things get pretty strange at times, some of which makes sense at the end of this arc. It certainly piqued my interest in the next part of the tale.
At first, I had mixed feelings on the art. It seemed somewhat simple and tended to be dark. That actually helps set the tone of the book. And when things start to get crazy, it's a nice change from the art at the beginning without sacrificing the style at all.
