5.0

A must for Clevelanders and comic book fans, regardless of if you're a "Kavalier and Clay" fan. This is its own story, and like "Kavalier and Clay" it explores the world of comic book creation, this time the world of modern indie creators. It is steeped in local Cleveland scenery and lore, shouting out the Cinematheque, Harvey Pekar, and even the Free Stamp! Non-Clevelanders may not squee like I did, but local color certainly doesn't hurt a story!

Also the plot explores the realities of crime and vigilantes as our normal people find themselves experiencing near-heroic capers in their quest to publicize their comic book.

I would definitely read a sequel or twelve.
