Genre Mash Up
I like zombies but love superheroes. This book blends them beautifully into an enjoyable bit of escapism. I am on board for the duration of this series.

I recently read my first superhero novel. I find the sub-genre funny.
I've also read [a:Peter Clines|3396842|Peter Clines|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1314048538p2/3396842.jpg] book [b:14|15062217|14|Peter Clines|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1338999953s/15062217.jpg|20716929], which I liked. This book is his first book. Its a a mash-up of the comic book superhero and Zombie horror genres. Its a little rough in places. However, the permutation of Superheroes vs. Zombies is weird enough to make-up for the weaknesses.
I find the author's thesis, that superheros can save individuals, but they likely can't save all of humanity no matter how superpowered they may be, to be the story's most interesting plot-line.
This story isn't a deep read. Its a novelized graphic novel, as trope-ridden as any superhero comic book. I found it to be an airy confection, that I burned right though. I read half the book in a single sitting, that's something I rarely do. The other half took a little longer, and was a bit anticlimactic.
I'm going to read the next in the series [b:Ex-Patriots|17162429|Ex-Patriots (Ex-Heroes, #2)|Peter Clines|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1364852618s/17162429.jpg|16919836].

A fun take on the zombie genre, will have to find time to try the sequels.
It’s a book (series) about superheroes and zombies. Was I expecting high quality literature? No. But it could have been more compelling, well written and subtly drawn character. Hey, you can’t have everything. It’s basically the lowest level of blockbuster, popcorn fodder. Some good ideas but basically forgettable and I won’t be pursuing it any further (as the free sample of the next book confirmed.
Superheroes and Zombies. The book moves at a good pace, and might have even benefited from taking a little more time with characters and setting. That said, it was fun, and if you're into either genre, it will be a fun read for you. It was good enough to make me want to read the next one in the series.
