Alright, this will be filled with series that meet my wheelhouse expectations for Superhero Prose. They will be more reconstructionist or hopeful in nature with likable characters! Onward!
New Olympus Saga: Here
- It was my first "Superhero Prose" series I ever bought because CJ had a Tabletop Resource made alongside it. Here
- He understands actual "gray morality" like Xena. IE: The characters aren't edgy sad sacs. They have virtues on display as well as faults.
- It has comic book themes from the golden age all the way to modern. So everyone can find things they can enjoy.
Night Terror: Here
- Doesn't take itself seriously.
- Hammy to 11.
- Has that Xena and Gabby vibe I found fun: Some drama and a whole heaping of Campy.
- If I were to compare it to a movie: Megamind.
- Subversive in a way that appeals to my wheelhouses. I love Megamind. Because, in the end, he was just an street level hero that wanted to do good. Even got the girl.
Heroes Unleashed: Silver Empire Publishing Here //// Amazon Here
From my Amazon Review:
That's what most of these series have for me. They have characters I want to follow! Plus it doesn't just appeal to my personalize wheelhouses but will bring in other readers as well.
- Has Astro City level appeal.
- Reconstructionist in nature.
- Has genuine trappings of Superhero themes and ideas.
- Heroes who remember what Heroism is.
Defiant Story: Here
- The 2nd string heroes save the day.
- Has more of an 80s look at supers. Byrne Era Superman stuff.
- The biggest thing: They want to be heroes. Not sad sacks forced into it.
One Last Echo: Here
- It has heroes.
- It has villains.
- It has hope.
- + Space!
- Likable Characters. Sarge understands Superheroes too.
(I'll add more as I complete series. Still finishing Mercury Hale, Action Figures and a few others.)
