Unusual characters (2 more)
Genuinely funny
Great action
James Gunn is a loon
Prefer this to the David Ayer version. James Gunn just has a much better eye for comic book films in my opinion.
This version has much better character development, and the action is much more coherent.

Unrequited love sucks but can lead to better things. This book does a great job of taking you on the rollercoaster ride that is loving your best friend and watching them live a party life. The main character Gwen, turns this into a successful comic book that seems to touch a wide audience. Her success though keeps her in a rut that she must break out of at the end. This story is something almost anybody to related to on some level.

Mar 9, 2018
When the mayor of St. Carnard steps down, Darkwing enters the race to take his place. But someone is out to make sure that Darkwing does down. This was another fun entry in the comic book spins off from the 90's cartoon show. Fans will love it while the rest may not appreciate it as much. I'm a fan, so I loved it.

Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Villians Don't Date Heroes! in Books
Feb 17, 2018
As a former comic book geek this story drew me in. I have read other books by this author and they were great in their sweet simplicity. This was a bit more complicated. I loved Night Terror she was the perfect villian but her main love interest seemed a bit blah. Iwould have liked to see more verbal and mental sparring. That said I did enjoy this book and will read the next one. The uniqueness of it is a draw in itself.

Comic fantasy that reminded me slightly of the great Terry Pratchett (writen in that vein), but not quite as good as his.
Set in an alternative medieval period, in the reign of Uther Pendragon (who is one of the characters in the book): in this case, Uther (and not Arthur) is the 'Once and Future King'. Unfortunately, the book also states that the author is working on a sequel: if he did, I never saw any sign of it in any of the bookshops, with the ending of this book leaving plenty (too much?) open to be included in that sequel.

You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except ...here's how books work....

Superman dies
It doesn't hold.
Back in the early 90s, I remember one comic book,in particular, that made the headlines, when DC decided to take what was then a massive risk and kill off one of their lead characters.
This was in the days, of course, before that trick became 'old hat; before the comic industry kept killing off and bringing back to life their leads.
Reading it now, even if the plot isn't that strong (who is Doomsday? Where has he come from? What does he want? Why was it the the Justice League of Americas B-team that went out to face him and got taken apart?), it's interesting to see how the medium has moved on: in particular (mostly) away for the lurid brightly coloured panels of this comic.
I have to say, as well, if you thought the devastation of Metropolis at the end of the recent(ish) 'Man of Steel' movie was bad, read this ...
