This is both a blessing and a curse because it allows other characters to take equal billing throughout the book; but the question must be asked... "Is this book so extreme merely for the sake of being so?" I've always had a similar issue with books like The Authority and Preacher; both of which I've enjoyed immensely; yet every so often I find a brick in the fourth wall coming loose and I can peer through at a writer putting in the most bizarre or confronting situations with a child's tantrum-like desperation. That said, the story is still a winner, but it does touch upon the "mirror" superheroes topic you raised in the last podcast. There must be a time looming ahead when this device will be restricted!!! I have sever trepidations about the film however. The preview already strays perilously far from the storyline. This does not bode well.
