BOUNS REVIEW by Tom Seymore
Captain Dynamo was a great hero in the Image universe. With his five diferent super powers he battled crime tirelessly.
After his death his wife finds his "little black book" and discovers that her husband was a super sleaz-ball that fatherd five illigitimate children.
Each of his children developed one of their fathers super powers and with the city being unprotected they band together to form the Dynamo 5!
Jay Faerber(Noble Causes)has given us five very different and intersting characters and we get to know the basics about them within the first few pages.
My favorite, the dumb football player with telepathy.
With strong Terry Dodsen-esqu art I think this might actually be one of those rare Image titles that I could get in to for an extended period of time.
If you like families, relationships, action, and some laughs sprinkled in this one is worth checking out.
