It’s no exaggeration to say that readers learn more about Abby’s school musical than they do about anything else in this world.Ībby is a smart-talking narrator complete with one note jokes and wise cracks that sometimes read as a bit too sharp. The world building is also flat offering little explanation for where Morriston is situated in the world or how supers function aside from local heroes Red Comet and Fish Boy. Who doesn’t want to read about a world filled with superheroes and a misunderstood supervillain? Unfortunately, the premise is a bit misleading as Abby’s first person narration focuses more on traditional high school antics like auditioning for the school musical than the superhero shenanigans I had hoped for. The Supervillain and Me starts with an incredibly fun premise. Although it is a series starter, the story also functions as a standalone. The Supervillain and Me is Banas’ debut novel. And he isn’t the biggest threat to the city by a long shot in The Supervillain and Me (2018) by Danielle Banas. Except according to Iron Phantom himself, he isn’t actually evil. When Morriston’s newest super save Abby from a mugging, she has no idea that he’s Iron Phantom–a dangerous new supervillain. Still, it would sometimes be nice to take center stage in her own family instead of always being overshadowed by Connor’s heroic feats and her father’s job as mayor. Especially when her real passion is musical theater, anyway. She just wishes that the town’s hottest superhero, Red Comet, wasn’t also her incredibly annoying older brother Connor.Ībby made peace with being normal a long time ago. The only certainty is that supers fight crime provided much needed aid in a world riddled with violence and danger.Ībby Hamilton knows that supers are the only reason it’s even remotely save in Morriston.
No one knows why some people develop super powers and others don’t.
