Mar. 24th, 2019 08:45 pm41. Secret Origins
42. Black Magic Women
43. Pasts Imperfect
44. Cruel Summer
45. Team Ups
46. Power Play
47. The Black End War -- all by Michael Bailey.
15 year old Carrie runs into the woods, anguished by her parents divorce, and encounters a dying alien who shoves their superpowers into her.
Other supers are born, genetically engineered, technologically enhanced, superintelligent AIs, possessed by demons, found magic gloves, or are technological Science! wizards. Some turn to crime, and others fight them.
There's nothing especially new in the settings or plots -- if you've read supers comics of the past fifty years, Genre Savvy will work for you -- but the characters are quite good, and the writing progresses from good to very good over the course of these seven books. I will read more when they come out.
