What’s not to love about a product that gives you 120 superhero and superhero illustrations by Dan Houser with ICONS stats? Most of these heroes and villains were submitted by ICONS fans in response to the offer printed at the end of the ICONS rulebook, though some are, well, iconic characters from the ICONS products themselves. On the negative side, however, the product offers nothing more than the stats and illustrations—there is no background information on any of the heroes or villains, even those who get a full-page treatment. (In the preview page on Dan Houser’s PhotoBucket account, 1/2 the page is illustration and stats, and 1/2 the page is background and story information.) That kind of “fluff” would make the product significantly more useful.
