Martin and Brandon Sanderson have dipped their toes in the genre but prose fiction is something that is traditionally considered a somewhat off-beat medium for stories about them. Superhero novels are one of the areas of genre fiction that don't get much attention. My only complaint about them is they're kind of episodic when I'd like a bit more plot.Įdited 13th Dec '16 5:28:54 AM by CharlesPhippsĪuthor of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters. It's basically a combination of Wild Cards with DC comics, only the heroes aren't complete jokes but genuinely sincere about being all they could be.
Wearing the Cape is basically the Supergirl series I wanted before it became a TV show.That's a bit more mature and yet even more fun. I do prefer the latest one, I Did Not Give That Spider Superhuman Intelligence, though. Plus, Penny Akk is just fiendishly likable. This a more Silver Age meets Sky High world than a dark and gritty excess, which I think works better for the printed word. It doesn't try and take itself too seriously, which I think is the death of good superhero literature. Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain is just FUN and silly.Full confession, though, Jim Bernheimer is the guy who discovered me so I'm horribly biased.
The kind of guys who, absent ray guns and superpowers, would deal meth and rob pawn shops. It's a very down to Earth kind of story and the Origins book really gives you an idea how blue collar villains would work. Confessions of a D-List Supervillain is really a story about the kind of working-class B-listers which Spiderman fights (Not quite as bad as the protagonist thinks he is).Why I recommend certain series I'd like to throw this in:
