This was a pretty good superhero book for little kids. The plot and pictures were unintentionally funny (at least to my nephew and me), but it was enjoyable! No, actually, it was hysterical! We laughed our heads off at this one, and then my nephew showed it to my niece, and they guffawed over the story. It was great! Depending on their age, some kids might find this to be a little bit intense, but if the grown-ups are giggling and eye-rolling, the scary will probably be neutralized quite significantly.
