I like superheroes and I like zombies – a book that combined the two seemed like a good fit for me. Unfortunately, I had some issues with Ex-Heroes, to the point that I ended up taking a multi-week break from it part of the way through. Had this been a library checkout rather than a purchase, I prob...
A little uneven in places, but different enough in the mashup of the misfit-superhero genre and the zombie-apocalypse survival genre that I enjoyed it despite the multiple POVs and the "then" & "now" chronology changeups. First in a series. The superheroes' powers come to them without explanatio...
"You can't be Banzai!" cried Mom. "Banzai is a boy. It was in the paper.""Yeah, I know. It helps hide my identity.""That name," shouted Dad. "How could you pick a Japanese name for yourself? You're Korean!" I shouldn't lulz over that exchange but I did.I could easily hype this book up with big, all ...

Peter Clines's books are damn fun. After reading 14, I knew I had to see what Clines would do with superheroes and zombies. I was not disappointed.I'm starting to find I enjoy superhero books. I read Raymond Rose's The Fire Inside a couple of years ago, and I really enjoyed it. I've been wanting som...
