Hyperactive Julio must take over leadership of the titular band of losers-turned-superheroes when he alone proves immune to a rapidly spreading supervillain virus. The book's madcap energy and slapstick humor are a perfect fit for this entry's comic antagonist, and series fans will be equally taken with Julio's development as a hero and the wealth of nerdtastic details.
