Perhaps, I'll enjoy reading this book as I enjoyed watching those superheroes on screen.

Thanks for the great review. (wink)
My pleasure (wide grin)
As a fellow superhero fan, I'd love to see how you see the story.
Thanks for stopping by!

I agree, thanks for popping in!

Great review!
I completely understand. Thanks so much for commenting!

Hahaha, sometimes, things are not what they appear... :wink: I'm glad you're willing to still check out the book even though you'll skip some pages... A small price to pay in my opinion... Thanks for reading!
You are most welcome!

Great review, it sounds like a remake of X-Men, but as the story is good and the characters believable, that’s not a problem.

As a matter of fact, I DO " love Avengers, X-men, Justice League and the like", but I do NOT like sequels, even if they are "standalone" - that's just my thing - so I'll backtrack and read book one first. Thanks so much for the introduction!

:lol2: I know right? I'd love to see how it all started even though I know the end... Which is relative because there just might be a follow-up to this one (I hope)
Thanks for reading!

Thank you for your detailed review! I do like Avengers and X-men so I think I'm going to enjoy this book :lol: I'm going to read the first book first though so that I can get more of a feel for the world in the book.

This really sounds like a cross between X-Men and Watchmen. Powers and violence are predominately used in both series.

I am a big fan of the superhero genre especially Marvel's MCU. I think I will enjoy this read, it contains all the usual ingredients that make for a fun read.
I am intrigued with the simple yet rich style mentioned, it's usually not easy to pull off.
Great review by the way.
