Says Deadline of The Mighty, "They've come up with a nifty take on the superhero genre. The protagonist is mortal, a tough cop. He hunts a villain who is the superhero and must overcome the obvious disadvantages of going up against someone with superpowers."
Here's how DC described a pair of graphic novel compilations:
#1: "America's only Super Hero, Alpha One, is introduced in this first collection featuring issues #1-6 of the intriguing new series THE MIGHTY. But when murder strikes at the top of Alpha's crimefighting organization, the life of one of its members will change forever."
#2: "The saga of Alpha One concludes here, with THE MIGHTY #7-12! Lt. Gabriel Cole has worked his way up the ranks of Section Omega, with a connection to Alpha One that reaches back to his own childhood tragedy. But when Alpha One reveals a sinister secret, Cole must stop this renegade superman from destroying life on Earth."
