snugglekittyFirst, let me just say that this book has the best title ever. Second, let me say that if you have ever liked comic books, you need to read it as soon as possible. (If you haven't ever liked comic books, or at the very least, movies about superheroes, then it probably won't mean all that much to you.)
This is not a graphic novel. It is a book with words and few pictures. It is written from two perspectives - that of a comic book style supervillain who is trying to take over the world for the thirteenth time, and that of a newbie superhero who has just joined the team that opposes him. It is funny, touching, true to life, sad, and hopeful. If you read this book, I promise you will never think about supervillains the same way again. It's a little too thoughtful for the beach - read it on your commute, or a rainy Saturday morning. Five stars.
