[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8342723, member: 20564"] Superheros. So I've been reading Invicib... no, that was the Amazon Prime series. The Incredi... no, movies. Soon I Will Be Invic... no, still not Invicible, and that one is even further away. Mr. Invulnerable! No, that was a Champions character a long time friend of mine ran. Ah, I remember: The Indestructables by Matthew Phillion, And really, that was just a cheap joke, the series is easier to remember than that. I finished the eponymous named first book, and now I'm on The Indestructibles: Breakout. I think adrift teen supers is a new category I'm grooving on. You know, ones where half the word out is on the drama within the team. Super soap operas if you will. Which does match my favorite style of superhero RPG. I've been told I want to give Masks a try next. Anyway, these are worth reading the series, especial since with Kindle Unlimited they are including in my subscription. The characters are good, though you've got your Batman and Superman expys. Ah, the perfectionist vigilante ex-dancer one of the other heroes calls Assassin Barbie. But you've also got the too-young-to-be-in-this-but-her-powers-are-too-dangerous-not-to, and some others. Written as an ensemble with differing points of view each chapter it's pretty decent. 7/10 I'd say. If you've got Kindle Unlimited, I've found Arthur Mayor's Superhero Chronicles, starting with Sidekicks, to be a better read. But if you've finished those and enjoy the subgenre, these are good to head to next. And if you are more into buying books instead of a subscription, don't miss the Wearing the Cape series. [/QUOTE]
