Myself, I think the place where "normal" crashes into "superhuman" is a pretty interesting spot. Regular people close enough to the action to be caught in the blowback of superhumanity, and these people not only survive but thrive? That's an interesting story; like living in a city that is always experiencing a hurricane, every day, and treating it like it's just another day at the office.
Did you ever read Gotham Central? I think that's what most of us are expecting (at least in a way) and why we're excited for this. I mean, different strokes and all that, and it's a shame you're not interested in these titles (hopefully something else comes along that's up your alley), but I have hope these will be pretty great.
