ravengrimsbane's review against another edition
4.0
I admit it, I picked this up expecting to find it hilarious. Kenley and I used to share articles about real-life superheroes and laugh about their antics. This book made me look at them in a different light. It helped me to understand what motivates these people, shows a little of their methods, and made me realize that the ones who truly believe they have superpowers are actually in the minority. It's a thoughtful glimpse into a community of people who want to make a positive difference in the world.

I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway. The author wrote me a nice dedication in the front that was unexpected and cool.
This was a great read for anyone who is a fan of Watchmen, Kick Ass, or superheroes in general. A lot of the book was about the caped crusaders but a good portion was about their charities as well and I found those parts to be the most inspiring of all. I couldn't see myself patrolling my neighborhood at night, like some of the people in this book, but I could see myself dressing up for charity events and doing fundraisers in costume like others did. It's an inspiring read and I enjoyed reading and learning about something new.
