Blue Dawn Black Powered by Potassium is a fast-paced, hilarious, and action-packed superhero adventure that flips the genre on its head.
Private detective Max Greenfield never asked to be a hero. One night, a stakeout gone wrong leads to a shattered vial, a glowing blue serum, and an electrifying transformation that turns Max into the city’s most unlikely protector. Faster than a speeding taxi, stronger than yesterday’s gym regrets, and armed with energy-charged bananarangs, Max steps into the streets of Metrovale as the Blue Banana.
The city needs a symbol. What it gets is a caffeine-addicted detective with unstable superpowers, a chaotic sense of justice, and a questionable costume. But Max embraces the role, fighting crime with comedic flair and reckless enthusiasm.
Until his partner and closest friend, Alec Chavez, discovers the truth behind the serum. When Alec injects a far more dangerous experimental formula, he becomes Black Pepper, a fire-wielding force with a mission of his own. Order through fear. Control through power. And the destruction of Blue Banana.
As Metrovale burns under Black Pepper’s iron grip, Max faces the hardest battle of his life. To save the city, he must confront the man who once had his back. The fight is personal, the stakes are devastating, and the future of Metrovale hangs in the balance.
With a determined journalist tracking every move, a mysterious vigilante operating in the shadows, and a city caught between laughter and terror, Max must prove that even the most unlikely hero can rise when the world needs one.
Perfect for fans of superhero misfits, action-comedy adventures, and stories where heart, humor, and chaos collide.
If justice comes in all shapes and flavors, Metrovale is about to discover its most unpredictable hero yet.
Reads a bit like a comic, with pictures interspersed. Not something that I would normally read, however, but a decent first book by this author. I will be looking forward to more adventures of Blue Banana!
