The super fast Osaka Pro team of Harada and Kotoge amazed at Chikara Small But Mighty.
First up is the second half of my review of the absolutely great Chikara show “Small But Mighty” from back in October. Read the article over at the Examiner!
Then, Joe Gagne has returned with a review of an import classic: Super Fire Pro Wrestling Premium X for the Super Famicom! Check it out below!
Wow, another Millar review, who would have thought it.
What’s been going on: Well you’re probably already familiar with who Kick-Ass is and what’s been going on. Red Mist is back with a super villain name I’m not comfortable with posting on a review site, Kaitie is hurt, and Dave’s dad took the fall for Dave when the police came for Kick-Ass.
The Review:
I was more pleased with issue 5 then issue 4. It had been almost a year between 3 and 4 and there was some character building. If the title had been on schedule, this wouldn’t have been a problem, but by the time 4 came out, I was ready for an ass kicking. There was some action in 4, but it developed characters, and the same could be said about 5, however, we finally get to see what we’ve been waiting for. Hit-Girl to Dave’s rescue!
I was pleased with this title and hope that the finale is coming in January. (According to Millar’s twitter feed Kick Ass 6 and 7 will double ship with 7 being a double sized issue).
A former rock star's search for fame ends with him gaining a strange set of super powers.
27: First Set is nothing if not unique. How many comics can you remember that integrate concepts like the 27 Club (the list of famous music stars that died at 27), demons and mechanical implants? Well Charles Soule and Renzo Podesta treat all that stuff as run of the mill in a rather unique collaboration from Image Comics.

A very solid, visually unique book, 27: First Set comes Recommended. Pick up your copy at Amazon.
Starting today we will begin running promotions for Kickstarter projects that either myself as the editor or the individual writers for this site think would make awesome purchases. Generally these will either be super powered fiction related projects OR projects by quality creators of super powered fiction. We start out with two great ones:
Matt Forbeck will be bringing his Brave New World RPG (an absolutely amazing setting BTW) to life in the form of a trilogy of novels he will write as part of his 12 for 12 project in 2012. Forbeck plans to basically do Nanowrimo 12 times over next year and the first three novels in his project will be Brave New World related. While the project is already funded, I highly recommend hitting this one with more cash as if he reaches the 8k mark by Friday, he adds a second novel to all backers.
Check out the video here:
Then, Hero Happy Hour’s current creative team of Dan L. Taylor and Gavin Spence have a new project in the works: Renfield & Igor Meet Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. This looks like a fun book for everyone.
Here’s the video for the project.
Both projects will hook you up with an e-copy for a measly five bucks American. Help support great independent projects!
Do you have a Kickstarter (or similar site) project you would like to see featured on SPF? Email me at nick {at} superpoweredfiction.com with details!
Cassie Hack jumps out of the pages of her book Hack/Slash ready to beat down some slasher butt. (Cosplayer: Aglaia Venus)
Everyone not buying Hack/Slash should immediately give the book a try. It is a great title that is far more than just the cheesecake factor it might first show. (Of course, I say that under a sexy picture of a cosplayed Cassie so make of my words what you will.)
Fair warning, visit the website from the image at your own risk. It is definitely an NSFW site.
