A Once Crowded Sky by Tom King

3.0

I was intrigued by the bio of the author (intern at Marvel comics, then CIA officer) and the style of this novel is clever--told in snippets from the comic book issues of all of the major characters through their perspectives. Several years ago, a massive threat to Arcadia City forced superheroes to surrender their powers to strengthen just one of their own, who then sacrificed himself. His sidekick, Pen, was the only one to refuse, and now, as the only human being with superpowers, finds himself called upon when a new threat emerges...hey, wait, is this a metaphor?
