There were some pretty good poems toward the end — mostly X-Men inspired. Most of the rest felt tired or as if they didn’t benefit from the form.

The reason I gave 2 stars instead of three was that nearly every poem about women (and many were told from the POV of comic book women) made me feel icky. Really icky. Like physical cringing icky. Like old fashioned (and I guess modern) look how women are treated/portrayed in this comic book icky. Which is a disappointing shame.
