Well, that was … different.

By now, we're all used to witnessing the current Superhero phenomenon - Spiderman, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, etc - from the point of view of those characters, drawn (predominantly) as larger-than-life.

This eschews all that, focusing instead on the point of view of a bystander on the street (photo journalist Phil Sheldon), with the characters drawn in an almost photo-realistic manner. As such, this deals more with how the public (would) view those characters and the massive property damage than inevitably follows one of their battles, picking and reinterpreting various scenes - Captain America at war, Mister Fantastic and Sue Storms marriage, The X-Men and the Sentinels, Spiderman and the death of Gwen Stacey, etc - from the decades of comics now available.

Kinda Meh!
When Jenine finds an abandoned camera in a lighthouse, she takes a photo for fun. But there's something very, very wrong with the picture: it contains ghosts.

Jenine and her best friend, Bree, realise the camera is capable of capturing the dead. But with each new photo taken, the spectres become more aware and more alert, and begin following the friends. Desperate, Jenine seeks the help of a paranormal researcher. He only has bad news, though: they've meddled with something far beyond their control, and the ghosts won't stop... not until Jenine and Bree are dead.

Very interesting theory, and whilst it is a short read I found it skipping over details. The characters were lacking in depth and likability.
