I read this while it was still fairly new. It’s The Usual Suspects, but Marvel villains. I remember when I first read it, I spent a couple weeks drawing teams of supervillains that I thought were cool, trying to out do the fairly generic lineup of this book. I know I was drawing a lot of the Pangolin and Mysterio. It didn’t really capture my imagination this go around.

There’s nothing wrong with Identity Disk, other than being derivative. Maybe it will scratch an itch if you feel weird enjoying a movie in which the star and the director have been tied to sexual assault.
