Anyone have reviews of the post-2000s Villains & Vigilantes stuff?

Been having trouble finding info on this elsewhere so I'll give it a shot over here where the reader base is a bit more likely to remember V&V from back in the day and have kept up with it.

Fantasy Games Unlimited pumped out about 20 adventures and villain books throughout the 2010s, petering out around 2017. Monkey House Games also put out a couple of handfuls of supplements for V&V 2.1, Living Legends and their current Mighty Protectors version of the game, the most recent dropping in 2021. It's actually more content for the game than it had back in the 80s, and V&V was pretty well-supported back then before a long dead stretch.

Still, I can't find any reviews or even just conversation about the surge of new stuff last decade, particularly the FGU products. Someone must have been buying them or they wouldn't have kept coming out over the course of ~7 years, right?

Looking at the DTRPG teasers there's some interesting material there. There are several adventures from the Wiecks that were apparently partly finished in the 80s but never got published, including at least one with a bunch of new Dee artwork. There's a cluster of stuff set in WW2 (and Monkey House did their own WW2 book in 2021). And there's a bunch of adventures and villain books with a definite manga vibe to them, some set in Japan, others in the US.

If you've got any of this stuff I'd love to hear about it. Kind of hate buying blind when I can avoid it, but I'm starting to think I may have to.

Nobody at all? Cripes. Guess the nostalgic folks mostly quit in the 80s and never looked at the "new" stuff in the 2010's despite some of it being written in the 80s and just having gone unpublished.

Guess I'm either going to have to remain curious about the content quality or bite the bullet and buy some blind.
