Maybe you're like me. Maybe you really like superheroes but find Marvel and DC a bit intimidating what with all of the interwoven stories built on decades of backstory. And maybe you like a little bit of humor in your reading instead of pathos all the time. If so, Superhero Girl might be for you. In this series of vignettes, we see the titular hero trying to balance being a hero with her everyday life. She battles evil, sure, but she also has to do her laundry, try to have a social life, and deal with her relationship with her much more well-liked and successful older brother. It's not just silliness, of course. It's just that the depth comes more from the "girl" side of things than the "superhero". At turns fun and serious, this is a great book to read and re-read.
