This is a praiseworthy addition to the Mutants and Masterminds product line. The author mixes and matches some of the best elements of comic series like JLA, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Superman, and a host of others into a coherent and cogent campaign setting.It provides just enough background material on the life of the city, the important characters within it, and the world around it to seem complete and thorough, without smothing the reader in minutae.The artwork is solid, the layout is serviceable, and the city overview remembers to cover things like public transportation, professional sports teams, and health care.The only quibbles I have are that at $33 it's overpriced, and that the authors didn't find room to include an introductory scenario. Otherwise, though, this is fine product, one you should pick up if you can find it at a more reasonable price.
This is quite possibly the best RPG sourcebook I have picked up in my 5 years or so of gaming many different systems. It gives you a complete run down of the town, it's heroes and villians.
