A review by nerdylittlemilo
Secret Identity by Alex Segura

3.0

I don't know what it is, but something about this book rubbed me the wrong way. Aside from the fact that it opened with some dude mansplaining comics to a woman who had not been reading them since she was like seven or eight years old -- maybe younger -- and then went on to get a job in the comic book publishing industry, the writing felt....Odd. Stilted and corny with a willfully naive MC. At times it felt like a love letter to the more childish, campy, slapstick comics of the 1950s-70s that were a result of comic book censorship in the US. The story was also a bit slow, though it did pick up after about 100pgs.

Honestly, though, the Easter eggs and trivia were more interesting for me than the mystery aspect of the book.
