"I'm a comic book fan. To be specific, a superhero comic book fan. Ironically, I read comics more for the words than for the pictures; and yet more ironically, I've seldom found prose superhero stories to be very compelling. (No, not even Wild Cards.) But Erik Peterson bucked the trend. This was a very nice superhero variation on the theme. I would like to know more about these characters." - Martin L Shoemaker
