I love a good superhero story (and am still miffed that The Incredibles wasn't nominated for Best Picture, instead of just Best Animated Film). I liked this story for what it was and for what it represented, and for the whole "union charter" thing, which was both amusing and -- given that I work in a corporate environment -- distressingly familiar.
I wasn't terribly thrilled with the reading -- she nailed Chrome's voice, but didn't really do much for anyone else's except Kindred's.
As has been noted before, the way Megaton was dealt with vs the way Jenny was dealt with was a nice little truth about the corporate world.
Did anyone else notice that most of the supers had somewhat-daunting names? The pilot has a skull mask and is supposed to be dark. Kindred is, IMO, generally associated with vampires. Megaton with bombs. That sort of thing. Maybe it's me. I wonder if this is intentional, or if the author just thought they were cool names. I'm fine with either.
Two things I wonder that may have been/may be explored:
* If Chrome and others are super-intelligents, why would they willingly allow themselves to have posthypnotic suggestion/compulsory phrases incorporated into their brains?
* How long until we have a story where scabs break the picket line because the Union has said "we won't save you people until you do X" and other supers say "I can't go along with that" -- what will happen? (Jeff, feel free to take that idea for a future UD story.) Or, along those lines, supers who are vigilantes that the Union has to round up?
(If those have been done, I'll listen to them when I listen to previous UD episodes.)
Anyway, overall, very enjoyable. This is the first EP I actually finished at my desk after the drive to work, rather than waiting until I got in the car to go home later.
