(4) 4-6 Comic Chapter Books series. Illustrated by Luciano Vecchio. Superheroes battle well-known foes in good-versus-evil scenarios. The lure of the occasional comics-style illustrations may be enough carrot for comics fans, though the formulaic stories lack depth and character development. Excessive use of sound effects ("FWOOOSH!" "KABOOM! KABOOOM!") is true to the comic-book genre. Back matter includes sketches and context questions. Glos. Review covers these titles: Prisoner of the Penguin! and The Real Man of Steel.
