Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines

3.0

A quick, slick fun read about superheroes battling zombies in a post-apocalyptic world. Similar in some ways to Soon I Will Be Invincible and Prepare To Die!, it's an enjoyable but not very deep "real-life superheroes" story about how heroes react to their own failures and try to protect survivors, having already failed to protect the world. There's a lot packed into this book, including an interesting cause for the zombie breakout and a great deal of action, but it doesn't extend far past establishing a handful of characters and presenting some big fights. I enjoyed the easy-breezy writing style, so I'm moving on to the next entry in the series. Highly recommended for fans of George R.R. Martin's WIld Cards series; this is very much in the same vein.
