Un libro de prosa de superhéroes muy agradable. La trama de la serie avanza bien y tiene algunos ganchos argumentales interesantes. Recomendado. Si buscas una lectura entretenida con superhéroes, "Villanos S.A. (Con la Capa, #2)" de Marion G. Harmon es una buena opción. ¡No te arrepentirás!

The direction of the story was always intriguing. A good doctor joins the entourage of Hope, Kelly, and Jackie to prevent the imminent destruction of the world. He explains about the multiverse, help solve a few mysteries, the book ends, it fking itches me. The idea has always been there, but the conclusion is always unspectacular, and the characters blow. A wallpaper has more personality than what this author can portray.

Villains Inc (Wearing The Cape #2)by Marion G. HarmonAstra, aka Hope Corrigan, is at it again. This time she starts out up against a godzilla like beast, while trying to keep it away from the public and her not so super friends she had accompanied on a weekend outing. This seems par for the course for our super hero. As with many, I had reservations about how well Marion G. Harmon could have followed the first book in this series.Right from the start this one does not disappoint.Astra is back wi...

Villains Inc picks up a few months after Wearing the Cape ends. Astra is in a bad way becoming a source of tabloid headlines over a few missteps she has made between books. None of these are particularly bad things from the reader’s perspective but it’s easy to imagine the tabloids twisting facts to sell some papers. Add to that that Astra is still dealing with having lost Atlas, the love of her life, to the Ring attack at Whittier Base.Then Godzilla strikes—or at least a Godzilla—and we are imm...

Better than the first one, I think. Very much an action-oriented book. I could see this being turned into a film, mainly because the action is only rarely allowed to stop. For that reason, I think the book lacks a little character development, but it works pretty well, the characters remain likeable, and Astra has a new costume which is a little more adult (even if it does make me feel like a dirty old man for even imagining it).The book could really do with a proofreader. That's normally a BIG ...

Upbeat superhero fiction worth reading.Astra is back for her second novel and things start right off with a monster fight (against godzilla no less) and then a superpowered robbery and murder. Things start of interesting and continue right along that path. New characters are introduced and existing characters are given room to grow and shine in this novel.In all the novel contains plenty of action an interesting mystery and a compelling plotline. If you're interested in a upbeat superhero novel ...

The second Wearing the Cape book, in which life goes on. For instance, in the opening scene, when Hope is trying to hang out with her friends, a godzilla comes out of Lake Michigan to attack the pier. (Spoilers ahead for the earlier book.)She talks with Shelly about it. Turns out that godzillas are turning up "early" -- before they would have in the timeline before the Teatime Anarchist changed things, the last timeline that he was able to give them. And then Astra gets called in to check out fi...

Seriously disappointed. As a sequel I was expecting further character development and a chance to really know the world that has been built here. What I found was just an extension from the original with nothing too new on Astra. There's another threat where numerous super powers are thrown together in action scenes almost every chapter. And in the middle of all this is appearances from a team of villains that we really don't learn much about. With little familiarity and interest built upon the ...

Very rarely does a sequel live up to the original, but I think the author has done one heck of a job with this one. I struggle to put into words just what I like do much about this series. I think the author does a good job of at least some of it in the afterword he included in this book. Superhero mythos, superhero archetypes...they're near and dear to many of us. So many of us grew up with them and the very real stories of human struggles that the stories told us. They strike some deep chord w...

Godzilla attacks Navy Pier in the first chapter. That gets it 5 stars alone! Even with the sappy happy endings in the sequel-5 stars for the down to earth , witty dialogue.
