Graphic-less Novel for Comic Geeks

Soon I Will Be Invincible, by Austin Grossman.

Told in alternating chapters by two characters--evil genius Doctor Impossible and rookie hero Fatale--this book is a nice look at the world of heroes and villains. Doctor Impossible has escaped from jail and apparently finally succeeded in killing his arch-nemesis, ultimate good guy CoreFire. His old team the Champions are reformed with a few new members (like Fatale) to investigate CoreFire's disappearance and try to track down Doctor Impossible before his next doomsday plan comes to fruition. The story gives a fun and complex depiction of what might drive those who wear costumes for a living. Recommended for any teen or adult who likes comics.
