For what it is worth, Doctor Memory, I agree with you. Powers Inc. is also not my favorite either or the strongest of the DC2 Universe titles. It suffered from poor editing as well as too much aping of what came before in the actual comics. That is also probably why it only reached eight issues before it died. So, once I have those posted, it'll be over.

I've read and somewhat liked the first three "issues" of the Powers, Inc. series, but this one maybe should've been a little later, because it was laden with spelling and grammatical errors that make me think the authors didn't realize there was an "F7" key on their keyboards.

I also can't understand where they're coming up with the characterizations for some of these heroes. None of the characters have much in common with their comic book counterparts (though Booster Gold is somewhat like his Countdown incarnation), and while I know this is fan fiction and NOT the real comics, if you are going to use a character, it helps to have him or her act like people are used to them acting. Even if the characters have "died" in comic book continuity, it doesn't give one complete license to change them without explanation.
I have to say that of all the DC2 Universe ebooks I've read, the Powers, Inc. series is the weakest of the lot. I would suggest that the writers attempt not a DeMatteis/Giffen homage or ripoff but try something a little different.
