THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA is my multi-part epic ode to everything gloriously ridiculous in comic books. Cyborg T-Rexes, spooky crime ridden cities, ridiculous codenames, and epic struggles between good versus evil. I had a huge amount of fun writing these books and the idea of offering them in a six-part box set seemed like a good idea to get people caught up that might hesitate at buying them individually. I think it averages about $1.20 each.
The stories deal with Gary's growth from being a wannabe supervilalin to finding himself way-way over his head, dealing with the consequences of his poor life decisions, and trying to piece together the life he's unwittingly thrown off the rails. It's an escapist fantasy and a real story with actual stakes.
But mostly hilarious one-liners, jokes, and Star Wars references.

Did Not Finish
January 20, 2025Started from The Secrets of Supervillainy because I got the first two books separately.
Stopped about halfway through The Tournament of Supervillainy.
In the end, it turned out that I really only wanted to find out what happened to Mandy. I found out and then continued the series but it seems like the novelty wore off and I lost interest in the tournament arc. I stopped reading more than a week ago and I still don't want to go back to it. So I'm crossing it off the list.
