Many thanks to the International Society of Supervillains, who waded through a number of popular comics, in order to bring you this:

Single-Sentence Synopses of Popular Comics

Now gentle readers you can talk knowledgeably about many major "required reading" comics, without actually having to go through the pain of actually reading them! Isn't this helpful?

Well, having read Lindsgold's "Wolf Mind, Wolf Heart", and found out there's four more books at least in the series, I'm done.  I recommend stoppping at the first book. 

And another thing: the book also has one thing that kind of grates when I see it in fantasy books: English homonyms.  Case in point.  The main character looking out a window at a bay, and thinking it's nothing like the sound a hound makes.

The thing is, that's comparing two words that coincidentally have the same pronunciation in English, when logically, in a fantasy world where they presumably don't speak English, they shouldn't have anything to do with each other.  This is really just sloppy world-building, people.

So authors, stop it, OK?
