Priest, creator of such things as Quantum & Woody and one of the main revitalizers of the Black Panther, has been putting up new serialized superhero text fiction on the Kindle store, with the title 1999. It's a universe he's been working on for a while now, and has gone the self-publishing route. (Sadly, a lot of the comics creators of the 1980s can't get the time of day from modern editors.)
I've been helping him out with the pseudoscience, so I'm a bit biased, but what I've read so far (books 1-2, comprising the first 12 episodes) is pretty good, if generally on the dark side.
