NEW FRONTIER started off very well. Towards the end it did what the other ones did: a big scary monster beating up heroes, and then heroes beating up the big scary monster.

Superheroes actually fighting things almost never interests me. That's what's making Watchmen so interesting: the vigiliantes are for the most part just costumed people, and when they get into fights there's real chance of getting beaten up. And you can identify with it when they do.
