German review Wow! This book makes it subsequently to my best of 2013 list. I just saw it in an io9 article and just had to read it. An alternate history story where 1932 a failed experiment gives a small amount of people in the world superpowers. We jump around wildly in the time between then, multiple wars and the present time. And you get a very X-Men+Watchmen esque novel, with an amazing prose that gives the book an unique tone. I never read anything quite like it, a strange form of narration, you need a bit of time to get into, but very fitting. And the characters.amazing! Somehow this book went unnoticed in 2013 by a lot of people. Luckily I stumbled over it and can only recommend it to fans of Watchmen. And have fun finding the numerous references to other graphic novels.
