Superheroes and Comic Book Club discussion

Thanks for starting this thread, Natalie! And adding so many books to it.

If anyone has ever noticed the small picture I use for the club, it's a screenshot of the Kindle app on my phone. Most of these are superhero books (or at least books about people with powers) I've downloaded for free - and the following books seem to still be free for download.

Graceful Blur

Agents of Change

Invisible Justice

Trouble Brewing

Mercuria Rising

Impulse Control

Superheroes: The Best of Philosophy and Pop Culture

Thanks for the links!

This one looks interesting!

Girl Power

I like the sound of The Legend. Just downloaded it.

Thanks for all the deals Natalie these are great! Just let everyone know I have started Vicious by V.E. Schwab and it is fantastic!

Thanks, Natalie!

I can still see them - that's weird.

The United States of America is crippled by the Second American Civil War

A powerful organization called Project Rising Spirits is spreading their influence to the highest levels of power

When a former agent of the PRS is systematically terminating government and corporate officers, Bloodshot, enhanced with nanomachines that give him uncharged healing abilities, strength and speed is called by Project Rising Spirits to hunt down and stop his former friend, a deadly assassin that goes by the codename Pulse.

Bloodshot ultimately learns there are greater powers at play, and it is they that have locked away his memories – creating the perfect killing machine within the man he used to be.

Thank you for the updates.

I'll give a hearty recommendation of Emperor Mollusk Versus the Sinister Brain. Loved it. The reader is great as well.

A few comics for free:

The Li'l Gotham series is utterly adorable, BTW. An ideal entry-level comic.

I really enjoyed this Halloween story. Very different, and very entertaining.

May the 4th be with you.
I picked up 3 books. Thanks for the heads up.

I went and got it ,hope to read this weekend. Have not read Green Arrow since issue 4

DramaFever? As a friend I will recommend a Doctor if needed.

I loved Damian. Such a nasty little kid.

Damian grew on me. In the beginning, I hated to hate him. Peter Tomasi's Batman and Robin won me over.

Exactly. The growth of the character is fascinating. I am really sorry they killed him off (and trust that, in the usual comic book way, he will get better).

They could have him jump up and say "they missed. That was close."

They more probably will bring him back with the Lazarus pit or something.

Natalie wrote: "Also for those that like this sort of thing, Saga, Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan is currently priced at $1.99."

Natalie, I know you're not a fan, but I thought it was fantastic! Well worth a $2 price...

Nah! I thought we had discussed it before, and you didn't really care for it. But we all have different tastes! It wasn't a judgment :)

Hi fellow superhero fans. I'll say up front this is self-promotion... so if that's not allowed in this thread then please accept my apologies and I will remove it if asked to by the mod.

I have written a series of superhero books, and a novella in the series is free.


Where's Lolly? is book 3 in the Class Heroes series. It is a short story, and it's absolutely FREE on Amazon, Kobo and Barnes and Noble. (Links below).
It is a standalone story, so you don't need to have read other books in the series to enjoy it.

Lolly Rosewood is 16 years old, she's on the run and — worse still — she's lost her incredible superpowers.

Lolly has a chequered history, so who in their right mind would give her shelter and offer help? An old friend of her father is her only chance of salvation, but the Security Services are closing in.

Stephen - I agree with Natalie. I think the only exception we can make to posting self-promotions is here, and only if it's free. And if you say up front it's self-promotion :)

Thanks!

From the bestselling author of Wolves of Rome:

Europe has fallen to an ancient power that rose within the shadows of history. A year after the war the seemly unstoppable power of the Order is poised to strike across the Atlantic. The world stands on the brink of total subjugation, with only the United States as the last superpower capable of standing against the rising darkness.

However, unknown to them, the true enemy lies closer than anyone could have expected.

When one of the Order's greatest generals, Velvet, is found in Alaska, her arrival sets new events in motion as the doomsday clock is fast approaching.

Hunted by her people, Velvet seeks to learn the truth about her origins. What she will learn can change the course of history forever.

That's pretty cool, Natalie! I was able to download it, and with my Amazon login, get the app, and it's already on my phone!

I did not know that!

I know that they have the subscription, and the first one's free and all that - but I didn't know they had free downloads all the time like that.

I love Dracula! And Cumming & Curry? That would be awesome - I'll have to get that. Thanks!

Curses! It doesn't look like Dracula is free anymore :(

But I did pick up the Legend of Sleep Hollow read by the star of the new show (which is pretty decent...I saw the first season, but haven't had time for the second).

And I would have loved a book of Drizzt short stories. I never got much into his character - I only read that first trilogy he was in, but I loved Forgotten Realms. (Geez...so long ago...)

Thanks - I'll have to check periodically to see what they put for free...

OK. I take that back.

Dracula is free on Kindle.

But if you get it free on Kindle, you can download the Whispersync narration automatically without buying the audiobook???

That's cool!

So - to figure that out, I joined an Audiobooks group here on Goodreads. Sorry for being off-topic...(not comics or superheroes)...but I think that's a pretty cool thing.

Thanks, Natalie!

Thanks for keeping us in the know of all these deals, Natalie!

The Humble Bundle is really cool! I'm going to have to check that site on a regular basis...

That sounds like a great deal - thanks for posting, Natalie! I wish I had more time to read; I might try this. At this point, though I probably wouldn't get to any of them and then forget to cancel :)

Thanks, Natalie! I'm going to try to hit there tomorrow. (There's not a B&N in my town, but my work is within walking distance of one. :) )

I actually put a reminder on my phone a month ago when I saw this advertised! I hope they'll have some stuff left when I get there. To take home to my kids. Yeah - that's the ticket! :)

I stopped by and got a couple posters and a "Gotham Youth" sampler that had portions of Gotham Academy and a few other comics in it. They were still using last year's 75th Anniversary Batman bags :)

Good grief. If you search on Amazon Kindle books for "superhero" and sort by price, there's a ton of books for free.

I just downloaded a few that looked interesting to me.

One kids book: Superbunny and the Peas of Doom: A 'read-aloud' bedtime story for parents to read to/with kids aged 5 to 11 years
