Big shout out to Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Lisa Poh for carrying this entire anthology on their shoulders. I wish there was more actual black authors or authors of color included. It would feel less like same old rehashing on super hero stories. At least the additional culture from Black authors or authors of color would make it refreshing.
Faves:
Iron Justice Versus The Fiends Of Evil by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
The Seamstress Without A Costume by Lisa Poh
Canadian Blood Diamonds by Kristi Charish -- this kinda reminded me of Drew Hayes' villain stories, but like. Cheesier and less interesting. More superficial, I suppose.
