Excellent artwork and an interesting story. The characters are original and believable. Though this was my first image comic, the setting felt familiar and the world inviting. I will certainly continue following dynamo 5's journeys.

Entertaining, with interesting and sympathetic characters. However, the scene changes are pretty abrupt, and the action sequences sometimes feel like a few frames are missing.

For what this is, this is awesome. It's not going to great depth, it's not probing continuity. Dynamo 5 tells you what it is right on the cover - it's a dynamic, action-oriented approach to superhero storytelling that is unburdened by a need to do anything more than tell a good superhero story. The 5 are five illegitimate children of Captain Dynamo, a recently deceased and seriously unfaithful superguy. The half-sibling element kills what might have been ponderous romantic tension, while their stranger relationship makes their team-building and maintenance interesting. Nice, clean art and forward storytelling.
