A wonderful oldschool read that feels like the novelized version of something you'd have read in the Golden Age of Comics or maybe something a bit later. It has that flavor to it, though with the difference that the lead is a female and it's set in modern times, with mentions of Spring Break and Daytona Beach so that brings it wayyyy more into the 80's. So think of that balance. As I read I was struck by how MUCH it read like a comic book and was pleased to find it was indeed a comic book from the 90's based on a character from the Golden Age era... if this sounds cyclical, it's in part because of the storyline, where we double back on alternate realities, timelines, and characters...so pay attention, or you'll get lost in the names (but I won't tell you why).
This was a fun read for me. Light, easy to read, though a couple of typos throughout that I hope get nicked in future pressings, because the story is a lot of fun and I think it's a wonderful bridge from comics to books to get kids to read more.
Laura Wright really only wanted to enjoy a nice peaceful day at the beach. No worries... No fighting world threatening supervillains... just a few minutes of time to herself. Unfortunately, life finds a way and soon Laura is in the fight of her life...a fight that will take her to confront the most powerful opponent she has ever faced...Herself!!!
Writer Bobby Nash dives into the world of superheroes and villains and their universe threatening (in this case MULTI-UNIVERSE threatening) battles. Bobby first discovered the character of Nightveil in the 1980s while still in high school and immediately fell in love with her. As he developed into the author that he is today, he always wanted to be able to translate that love into a published adventure. Unfortunately, the opportunity never presented itself until PRO SE Publications brought in several authors and announced that they were going to be publishing a series of novels based on the characters in the AC Comics universe. Nash immediately "called dibs" as he states, and the rest is history.
In this, Bobby's love and passion for the character comes through as he spins a story that reads as if it were straight out of the pages of his favorite comics.
This is a stand alone novel, and, while having read and enjoyed the many comic adventures about the Nightveil character will add color and depth to your understanding of the hero, this book stands on its own and can be enjoyed by any reader new to Laura Wright and her costumed persona.
