Some good short stories, others not so good. I suppose if I was already reading the authors' works, the stories would be better - some did not master the introduction of their world building very well. It served its purpose, though, I have at least one writer that I plan to find so I can read more. :)

Supers for the win!
The ONLY "problem" with this anthology is that I had to add more books to my TBR list; seriously that thing is out of control, Reader problems...!

I'm way too busy. Time is my most valuable commodity right now. Because of this, I've been reading more anthologies. They work for me because I can get a whole story even if I only get some portion of an hour to read during. This anthology was so much fun! A great variety of tales under the superhero umbrella, including a wide range of universes and characters and powers. The only bad part? I really liked these stories, so I just added a whole lot of new books to my TBR list--the full novels by all these authors!

This is a collection of superhero-themed prose short stories. The authors are all writing ongoing fiction series in the same genre, and many of the entries here suffer from them trying to fit into too much exposition about their setting, which often kills the momentum of the actual story being told. And then there are one or two that just aren't very good, regardless.

There are a lot of different approaches to writing about people with extraordinary abilities, but what these stories all have in common seems to be spandex.

This almost got 4 stars but for the fact that several of the stories were based around government type agencies that the various heros are working with or for. In itself this isn't a bad thing, if you're into that kind of superhero story, but for my part I prefer the more personal stories about their trials and tribulations. Frank Byrns always comes through for me there and deserves 5 stars all on his own. None of the stories are bad, as such, but there are a good few here that are merely average.
Having said all this, this was, and is still free to download, and given that fact I'd recommend anyone give it a try, if only for the Frank Byrns and one or two others.
