5.0 ⭐️

This brought me so much joy and had the weird quirkiness that I was hoping from books like HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy. The dolphins were freaking hilarious and honestly were a highlight for me in the book. I loved the weird turn of events with the ending and even shed a tear on the last page. I‘m becoming more and more impressed with this author and look forward to exploring more of their work.

While it was interesting to explore the origins of DC Comics' New Gods, this was a long read. In addition to the general tell-don't-show style of older comics, many of the original issues were oversized 52-page books. The cliffhanger left by obvious cancellation is disappointing. Some of the character designs are extremely silly. Still, the imagination on display is amazing, and there is interesting ground work laid for future DC storylines.

An interesting post apocalyptic super hero series simpler to the boys, where super heroes aren‘t pure hatred protecters, but cold hearted tyrants. Is much less instance then the boy but it you enjoy the idea of morally questionable heroes this is a good one to check out.

Strong Female Protagonist Book Two | Brennan Lee Mulligan

One of the sillier moments from a pretty serious book. If you enjoyed the philosophy in “The Good Place,“ you'll love this. (If you can find it. 🙁 ) A young invincible superhero struggles with her desire to do good in the world.

Tamra The Good Place was hilarious - sometimes it took twice as long to get thru an episode because we were laughing so hard & so long! 😂 1w
willaful @Tamra It was the first tv show my daughter would watch consistently... she'd even put up with the commercials! 😂 1w

I love this! Cass (one of the Batgirls) has been reading the classics, and the store owner warns her that Poe “can be pretty scary.”
