homophobic and stereotypical booooooo. Too bad because I was enjoying the time travel fuckery but won't be reading or supporting any more of this author's work.

Set a few months after the events in "Wearing the Cape", a number of new characters are introduced.
The narrative is as excellent as the first story, with piles of action, some twisty evil stuff, and a couple of wonderfully heartwarming events (no Atlas, though, which would have bumped this up to my Personal Favourites list). The author cleverly slots the new characters into the narrative without resorting to possibly tedious explanations and introduces the concept of 'reality through projection, which includes Hope/Astra's childhood friend and a very interesting detective noir PI - pretty sure we'll be seeing more of him in future stories.
A superb read that left me wanting to read a lot more about this group of super people!

Seriously disappointed. As a sequel I was expecting further character development and a chance to really know the world that has been built here. What I found was just an extension from the original with nothing too new on Astra.
There's another threat where numerous super powers are thrown together in action scenes almost every chapter. And in the middle of all this is appearances from a team of villains that we really don't learn much about. With little familiarity and interest built upon the villains there really isn't much of a reason to call this Villians Inc.

This sequel to Wearing the Cape, which I liked very much, is just as enjoyable. Harmon takes his great cast of characters and well-done premise, and puts both through their paces. There are a lot of surprises which make excellent sense given what's come so far, and room to flesh out what all this stuff going means to the world at large. It is, once again, a thorough pleasure, a nice rush of dramatic super heroics in a style I like.
