5.0
This is a novel about superheroes going to group therapy. It's also about 9/11. It's also about endless wartime and the military-industrial complex. It's also about race in America. It's also about privilege and the way the misery of institutional injustice is pathologized. It also contains so many superhero name puns that I suffered mild-to-moderate psychic damage. You should read it.
