Spurred by the suggestion,I bought the PDF of "Rising Sun" first thing this morning and had the chance to read it over, too.

I was impressed.

The writing was very clear, the plot was interesting (if combat-focused), and the villain characters were, I thought, as a group better than those in several other V&V adventures.

The cover art didn't totally 'wow' me.  But the interior artwork was, I thought, among the top tier of interior art in any V&V publications ever.

This adventure also featured an aspect I have always liked in comic books and movies: where the heroes are required to fight off villains while also 'saving' civilians and/or stopping a natural disaster.

SPOILER ALERT


My favorite plot point was probably having the heroes chase the Japanese super villains, James Bond-style,out to their sea-based super yacht for a final showdown.

If I had any quibble, it was one of personal taste: I've never personally been a huge fan of the 'corporate CEO as villain.'

Well I'm glad you liked the adventure. Hopefully once I'm done with the sequel, you'll pick that up as well.
