Welcome to the "Chicago Organized Workers League"- the world's first Super-Hero Labor Union! While C.O.W.L. once stood as a beacon of hope against an epidemic of organized crime and an unbeatable "brotherhood" of Super-Villains, the union now faces its fiercest foe yet-a disillusioned public. In targeting the last of the great villains, C.O.W.L. attempts to prove its value to the world and to each other, while staving off villainy from both outside and inside its offices.

I loved the graphics of this book. Most of them are in black/white or sepia and colour is used to make certain parts stronger. The drawings are not very detailed but important things are lifted out with detail making the picture stronger most of the time.
The story is interesting, having all these superheroes who solved all the problems and are now without a job. Corruption, people loosing it and others still believing in the cause.
The book starts with a map of Chicago explaining the different district and a character list. This kind of gave me a scare as I had an ebook and it is not really convenient to flip back and forth in the book. For the characters this did bother me at points the map not so much. In the back are some files describing all characteristics and a biography of the main characters.
