Project Superpowers: Chapter Two

In Project Superpowers: Chapter Two (2009–2010, Dynamite Entertainment), the second act of the sprawling superhero revival saga sees the newly freed Golden Age heroes—once trapped in the mystical Urn of Pandora—grapple with the consequences of their return. Writers Jim Krueger, Alex Ross, and Joe Casey deepen the conspiracy as the mysterious "Death Defying 'Devil" and other forces challenge the heroes' place in a changed world. With Alex Ross providing iconic covers alongside interior art from Edgar Salazar and Carlos Paul, this 13-issue run expands the series' ambitious reimagining of public-domain characters, exploring themes of power, responsibility, and the cost of a second chance. It matters as a key chapter in Ross and Krueger's larger effort to revitalize forgotten heroes for a modern audience.
