The main characters are the Nobles, a Fantastic Four-ish family of celebrity adventurers/super heroes. It's told mainly from the point of view of a normal woman who marries into the family. <BR/><BR/>Dynamo 5 is the story of five teenagers who find out they are the illegitimate children of Captain Dynamo, a Superman-esque hero who has a penchant for sleeping around. After he dies, his Lois Lane-esque widow finds his five children, each of whom inherited one of Captain Dynamo's powers (strength, flight, telepathy, shapeshifting and various visions (heat, etc)) and activates their power so they can defend Captain Dynamo's Metropolis in his absence. <BR/><BR/>Both are written by Jay Faerber, who had a brief stint at Marvel and DC earlier in the decade, and are published by Image. He's basically creating his own little Superhero universe with these books and a few miniseries (Captain Dynamo, for example, first appeared offhandedly in an issue of Noble Causes) where he plays around with the traditional superhero tropes and archetypes. <BR/><BR/>Noble Causes has one b&w archive book (a la the Essentials/Showcase books) with another one coming soon and Dynamo 5 has two trades collecting the first 12 issues or so.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266470995513648978.post-82469214871222360932008-11-26T19:11:00.000-06:002008-11-26T19:11:00.000-06:00What a gloriously random list!What's the story beh...What a gloriously random list!<BR/><BR/>What's the story behind DYNAMO 5 and NOBLE CAUSES?
