![]() ![]() The bad comic writers had it right, though. ![]() I once attributed it to lazy writing in the comics when you saw super-whoever speeding across the sky with speech bubbles instead of thought bubbles, conversing with themself about whatever catastrophic event they were on their way to stop. If there’s a checklist of superhero habits, talking to yourself has to be on there somewhere. It has, though, lots of funny moments and a quite interesting story, so maybe check it out if the synopsis appeals to you. Oh, and the ending was quite a mystery for me. ![]() I should have liked it, as I enjoy humorous, ironic superheroes who make mistakes, talk to and make fun of themselves (see Deadpool for example), but something was off for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t quite manage to relate to this book ot its characters, maybe because of the slang, maybe because of the one too many murky comics references, maybe because of the insistence on using metafiction too often and using the same technique in almost all chapters (starting with a challenging situation and then going back to explain how he got there). ***Note: I received a copy curtesy of Netgalley and Lanternfish Press in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
