The League of Regrettable Superheroes : Half-Baked Heroes From Comic Book History by Jon Morris

Brenna M's Book Blog

I grew up in Western New York, with a huge Italian, German, and Irish influence in my family life. Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony, the Haudenosaunee, and the Erie Canal are a big part of the history in my area. This is, I believe, is one reason I like reading about history and historical fiction.

I garden, cook, and preserve some of the food I grow. I, also, enjoy traveling. A book or two are always with me when I travel. And there is always one in my car, at my desk, and anywhere I may have a chance to read. Primarily I read fiction--young adult, historical fiction, mysteries, thrillers. I do enjoy a good memoir, biographies, and cookbooks. If someone recommends something, I will always check it out.

The League of Regrettable Superheroes : Half-Baked Heroes From Comic Book History

by Jon Morris

Hardcover, 256 pages

Published June 2nd 2015 by Quirk Books

ISBN 1594747636 (ISBN13: 9781594747632)

The League of Regrettable Superheroes is definitely a fun and informative read. Included in the book are vintage covers and pages from the comics that these superheroes were featured in. The art alone is wonderful, but the history of each includes debut dates, creator, and more on these superheroes that did not find success in print like Batman, Superman, and Spider Man. The book covers from 1938 to present and includes the likes of Brain Boy, NFL Superpro, the Legions of Super-Pets, and Squirrel Girl. This is a definite must have for a comics die hard, anyone interested casually in comics, graphic novels, or even pop culture history and trivia. I'm not even a comics lover, but I had fun reading about these superheroes and the real publication history that surrounds them.

Garden Spells is a relaxing read. Sara Addison Allen developed the characters well, giving them and the little southern town personality and charm. I liked the little eccentricities built into the characters, making them unique. Allen bu...

The Woods

The Woods seemed a little slow and wordy when I first started to read it, but that didn't last long. I started to like the characters, despite their flaws, and enjoyed the descriptions of the town and region. I could tell a lot of time w...

Beatrice Belladonna's Black Magic Web

by Mary Burton King

Beatrice Belladonna's Black Magic Web is a quick read. It is a little spooky reading about a sociopath murder who is being interviewed about her life before and during her prison sentence. King keeps the pace of the story moving quickly....
