Illustrated by
Noah Z. Jones.
A collection of lighthearted poems reveals a "B-list" of superheroes. Jones's colorful cartoons play up the comedy of the underemployed superheroes, from The Bulk--the Hulk's big and green but incredibly sappy cousin--to brawny but clumsily mismatched conjoined twins Herk and Uleez. While at times the poems strain to scan, overall this is an entertaining package.
