If you think kids killing kids in The Hunger Games is twisted – add more violence, foul language, killer bots and take out the love triangle and enjoy the wicked fun that is America’s Got Powers #1.
The biggest game television show on Earth features super powered teens in death matches for fame and fortune. Tommy Watts is part of the comic relief sideshow in the world’s most violent reality series until the competition goes tragically wrong and he’s thrust into a role he’s only dreamed of.
This is from the minds of writer/comedian Jonathan Ross and artist Bryan Hitch and Image Comics. The story takes familiar elements and turns them into something twisted and new while skewering society’s obsession with youth, violence as entertainment, reality television. I’m intrigued by the promise of the conspiracy behind this television show and invested in Tommy, reluctant young everyman hero who may be a terrifying super-man.
