My only real issue with this pdf is that it's listed as 189 pages and is actually 89 pages. The operative question is: what's not to love a about it. Though sent in a different continum and released by a different company, "Against the Axis" is a follow up-continuation-revision of the concepts Perin's earlier ICONS book "Homefront Heroes". "Axis" focuses on the theaters of war. Basically, if you want to tell a Golden Age story with ICONS, what you need is probably in here. Also, because the contributors are ICONS heavy hitters, like Houser and Tondro, esthetically and mechanically it should fit well with most published ICONS material. For those interested in Stark City, the book offers a Kirbyesque ancient aliens origin of superpowes.
If you like ICONS at all, you shouldn't be disappointed.
