  Holy cow! The obvious parallels of Real Heroes compared to Galaxy Quest end in the high concept. I love the fact that by wearing the Olympians' outfits, the heroes actually gain their powers. The theatricality of Brainchild and his supposed rival Smitty is interesting considering the Brainchild's words. I wonder who the big bad is that had the Olympians killed. Finally, the social discord surrounding the Patriot has some really interesting repercussions. This issue blew all of my expectations out of the water and I just can't wait to see what happens next month. Read Full Review

  There are more developments in the story from the characters back on earth after they split up such as Olympian surviving and then retreating to his Home to find a nice surprise. Two of the others acclimatising to their new powers and lastly we have The Patriot hitting up a bar getting into a fight. Read Full Review

  All in all it's not a bad issue, but it is very obviously getting from point A to B. Many readers won't mind this, so long as the ride is fun, in which case this is worth a read. Read Full Review

  Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson

  Jun 14, 2014

  Real Heroes #3 has a compelling premise, and there are hints of something new and different in this issue, but there are simply too many characters in play for any to fully grab our attention, and the extensive decompression makes it hard work to stay invested in the issue. Read Full Review
