Flare is the most recognizable character in the Heroic Publishing stable, and this collection of her stories is accessible and well made. The stories are full-on superhero tales, but there is a tongue-in-cheek nature that helps make them fun to read.

The art is cheesecakey, but the characterizations are well thought out. Heroic doesn't shy away from the stereotypical superhero body-style, instead it makes that a key element of the art. It's distracting enough to appeal to the adolescent boy, but not so much that it's not a decent read for the rest of us.

Overall a good value at the Drive Thru price. You get a lot for your money here. Note: these will just collect the Flare adventures, not the backup stories from other Heroic characters like Liberty Girl that might have been in the original issues.
