5.0

Worm is a marvelously ornate series about superheroes & superpowered criminals. Excellent worldbuilding, character study, plot twists, minor characters with complex inner lives, & tense action. The author has a unique ability to weave a rich network of three dimensional characters into a fascinating scifi drama setting. Recommended for fans of Watchmen, X Men, or scifi thrillers.
