Comments: Mike Mahoney owns a bar for super villains. One of his workers is Kat a red haired beauty. Mike hires a guy called the Blender to work for him serving drinks. These ex villains working here seem like great people. 
  The overall art style is fun looking. 
  This bar is a lot more than just a bar. 
  Mike is a wonderful guy for a ex villain. 
  A lot of the characters are based off of other ones from two top comic book companies. 
  Here we do learn how Mike became a bar owner. It is not what one would expect and it involves Captain Superior. All the characters you encounter in these pages are enteraining and likable. You will want to visit Mahoney's Bar.
  "Busted" Story and art by Brain Dawson. Here a threesome of super villain's try robbing a bank. Flamer, Serpent and Blood Knight are a almost lame super threesome. These guys are fun to watch in action. 
  This is a fun comic with fun enjoyable characters. No doom and gloom here. Step up and order a drink and sit back and enjoy.

Comments: Mike has his hands full running his bar. There are so many wonderfully interesting characters that come to it and also that work there. This is a bar to visit that would never be boring. 
  In this issue the Capies Awards are featured as villains are honored. They do have some perfect categories for these villains who are not overly villainous. There are so many villains at the awards ceremony. You can not move without seeing a new one. Here we see Kat and Lynx two lovely ladies and Lynx wants Mike while Kat wants him to jus she is not making it as obvious. Both women are beauties. 
  Watching all these costume characters and non ones to is so much fun. The chief is well he takes getting used to and eating his food your better off not knowing how he prepares it. The Blender the waiter is one great guy and your average guy who you can easily identify with. You would love to hang out at this bar with Mike and his staff.

Comments: Kat helps out Snow Storm this guy is a loser and Kat is a caring woman. She cares about those who come to Mike's bar. Yes even the drunks. 
  The art is fun. It is great to see a comic book that is not all doom and gloom. You will enjoy reading and seeing this comic and it will make you feel good. 
  Now the alien invasion has begun and the super-heroes of Power Force stand ready to repel it. The Defense Squad and the Awesme Alliance join in plus all other super-heroes as they fight to protect the Earth. 
  Even with an alien invasion going on Mike cares about Snow Storm. He just wants to help the alcholic. Mike may be an ex villain yet he is a true hero at heart and he inspires others to be better. 
  The more you read about these villains the more you will care about them. They are just guys and gals like anyone else. We see them presented here with a touch of humor. 
  This is one bar you should come on down to. Pull up a seat and order a drink if your a villain with a good side.

Comments: Superior and Nightcowl come to Mahonney's Bar for help. Yes the heroes need the villain's help. So the couple free heroes do team-up with a couple ex vilains. 
  Mike and Superior take a little trip. Superier carrying Mike around is a cool scene. The villains and heroes do have their hands full. It looks like it will take not only brawn but brains as well to beat this alien menace. 
  Kat the She-Lioness is shown in action and she is amazing. She is illustrated as a beauty with skill and a toughness that will grab your attention. 
  The comic is character driven. These people the so called villains Mike, Kat, Blender and the customers at Mahoney's Bar who are more like family will invite you into their lives. These villains are the heart and soul of this comic and they deliver a great story. 
  Mike now is a big bad brawler yet he has a heart of gold. He may be the biggest baddest vilain of them all but he is a true hero.
