Just posting some musings after re-reading it after having purchased it a couple of months ago.
Very nice and lite implementation of Fate. Very cool.
Quirky art style. Cool.
Style agnostic, although leaning toward a Silver Age funnybook aesthetic. Would work fine for modern animated DC or Spider-Man, or even something like The Dark Knight Strikes Again, not so much for gritty, talky, tactically driven supers.
Petty annoyance: In the paragraph that dashes through a non-random approach to character creation, it prices Specialties equal to abilities. That makes no sense, since the majority of specialties are just focused bonuses to abilities, with only a couple having a special utility, and that less so than a full-fledged power.
Curious to see how it plays out for a longer campaign; it seems a natural for a mini-series.
