Review by: Roger White on April 06, 2012 :
"Heroes" shows a lot of imagination. Dan, the author, has a lot of fun setting up worlds populated with classic villains who tangle with comic book style heroes in a 1940's-style setting.

I'm something of a novice to this alternate reality, so I found the setup for the stories to be a bit hasty -- not enough foundation-laying as to what was "real" in this reality. But other than that I found it entertaining.
