See all formats and editions
The Project Superpowers expansion continues as Dynamite, Alex Ross, Phil Hester and Carlos Paul present the story of Masquerade! Exploring the origins of the beautiful and mysterious Masquerade, writer Phil Hester opens with young Diana Adams who would grow up, inspired by the heroes of the age, to fight crime in her own unique way! Illustrated by the art-team from Project Superpowers Chapter One - Carlos Paul and Debora Carita - the 4 issue series is overseen by Alex Ross, who also provides the incredible covers to the series, collected here for the very first time. This trade paperback collection also includes a complete cover gallery featuring the work of Alex Ross, Frank Cho, John Romita Sr., George Tuska and Carlos Paul! “Masquerade brings Miss Masque's story into the fold of Project Superpowers. At the same time, Hester and Ross give this character the dignity, respect and intelligence she so richly deserves. Paul, Jean and Carita make her look just as formidable as she sounds.” – ComicsBulletin.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Origin Story
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2009

When I first heard about this Project Superpowers mini-series I wasn't too enthused but I thought I would give it a go anyway for completeness sake. After reading this I am glad that I did. This is an origin story and quite a good one at that. The character is interesting and the story is well put together using flashbacks. Most of the book is set before the Superpowers were put in the urn which I thought made sense as it was an origin series. I would be interested in reading more about this character.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Least
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2010
I have picked up the original Project Superpowers series as well as The Devil limited and the Black Terror(now ongoing) series and now Masquerade. This one I found to be the least of all. Maybe it was because I am not a fan of the character, but I was not brought into this origin story at all. The story flips around from childhood to other various parts of Masquerades life including her capture in the Urn. The artwork was solid for the most part, but the artist had help from two other artists and you can see when they worked on a page. The style didn't transition well and pulled me out of the story. Overall this was the weakest of the Project Superpowers stuff and I would recommend it only to those who need to have everything.

1.0 out of 5 stars Interesting concept - poor execution
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2011
This is an Alex Ross project, the guy who draws those great looking superhero covers. The cover here does not disappoint. The concept is mesmerising - revive interest in a little known masked superhero with a cliff-hanger like storyline.

The superhero is Masquerade, the feminine version of better known Eisner's Spirit. Here, Masquerade is just, if you will forgive the putdown, another dumb blonde with occasional flashbacks whenver she is in peril. Actually, she now reminds me of Penelope Peril, but I digress. Those flashbacks of hers has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with her current predicament which is a very poor plot with awkward drawings. Ross has clearly demonstrated here that he should stick with drawings and leave the plotting to someone else.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sadly underrated series.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2021

Dynamite produce comics with a wide range of characters, predominantly public domain stuff from old pulps, defunct comic book companies, and even The Lone Ranger and Sherlock Holmes. Project Superpowers revives a bunch of heroes from the forties and gives them new life and purpose. Great Alex Ross covers, good plotting, an enjoyable read all round.
