She’s like Deadpool, except for funner.įor a girl with the power of fear the recruitment attempts from both sides are never-ending.
Its easy to read and full of some wonderful description along with great dialogue which I sometimes felt was broken up by narration that confides in the reader pulling me out for only a moment or two – my only real critique because everything else left me wanting to turn pages, know more about this world and where this story could possibly go.Ĥ Stars – A different take on the tired superhero genre and done rather well.Meet Megaera, Meg for short. And they agreed, because they wanted more blood…’ Her control over those voices can sometimes have consequences that not even she is able to control. In between being told to ‘shut up’ by ‘Meg’ we see her trying to juggle options she is constantly caught between and her deadly power is always whispering. That power is rather a hot commodity to some, we see all around Superman type ‘Greg’ persistently trying to recruit our main character while on the other side of proceedings a sinister collector of powers known as ‘Red Eye’ is also pursuing her. Of course this flavor and comedy in general is a challenge to get right especially in this day and age where some readers refuse to receive it but me, I very much enjoyed that element which was executed very well by Jamie Jackson while only being part of a complex story because ‘Meg’ has a unique super power with a darker edge. We find this out through an unconventional and sometimes comedic fourth-wall-breaking narration style that has literally buckets of personality and snark. Her job is not so great and her outlook on life leans towards just wanting to be left alone. There are heroes and there are villains and then there’s’ Meg’ who tries her best to survive between the fringes of those forces and life in general.
