Title: Truth, justice, and a satire for all
Review: I was lured into reading Superfolks by the cover, and throwing caution (and the old adage) to the wind, I gave it a go and was quite pleased that I did. This is a wonderful satire of the hero-genre, a humorous tale of a super mid-life crisis written long before The Incredibles made animation history. Mayer skillfully creates a fantasy-pulp world chock full of pop culture's infamous and iconic, with enough cameos to make any child of the 60's and 70's grin with wicked delight. But overall, he is able to transform the stuff of comics - that brilliant combination of noir and sensationalism - into a delightful yet adventurous novel.
