According to the intro page to Silver Streak Comics #24, the purpose of the Next Issue Project series is "not to change, alter or reinvent characters from the Golden Age, but to present them as they were." That's a noble gesture. It introduces once popular newsstand giants to a generation far removed from their adventures. However, the stated intent doesn't consistently work out when reading the issue.

There are five stories included, the first three (the Golden Age Daredevil, Silver Streak and Kelly the Cop) are all colored by Erik Larsen of Savage Dragon fame, and Daredevil was entirely his project. These three stories certainly have the look of the era perfected, right down to the pages being tanned to look as though the paper is 60 years old. The colors bleed outside their lines and look quickly-drawn. However, the feel is a bit off. Daredevil ends with a decapitation that wouldn't likely be shown in the original book. The first Silver Streak splash page has an intended "blur" effect that wouldn't have been possible in the 1930s-1940s, and Kelly the Cop is a story literally told "in-between panels" showing the miserable private life of a happy-go-lucky strip character. It's the type of storytelling that you wouldn't see until the 1980's.

The second half of the book, which doesn't have the manufactured look of the Golden Age features two stories, one involving The Claw (an old Daredevil villain) and the other Captain Battle. The Claw is very self-referential and tongue-in-cheek and, while amusing, reads nothing like a comic of the 1940s. It's clearly the most out-of-place story in the issue. Captain Battle though succeeds in telling a story grounded in its era with all the action and melodrama that you would come to expect from war-time comics. The story here follows Battle's ill-fated attempt to circumvent the attack on Pearl Harbor.

As a "Project" Silver Streak Comics fails to connect with it's 23 prior issues. If compared to any other issue, it would be very clear that it doesn't fit the tone of those stories. Only Silver Streak and Captain Battle are exceptional in this regard. But the other stories are perfectly fine examples of modern-era homages. I would recommend this, as long as you know what you're getting into.
