(4) 4-6 DC Super-Villains series. Illustrated by Luciano Vecchio. "Superman would persevere until the bitter end...where Lex would destroy him for good!" Three supervillains star in these action-packed page-turners, which may appeal to reluctant readers. After two-page profiles of the bad guys, the exclamation-point-heavy texts play out their good-versus-evil scripts. The colorful comic-book art also lacks nuance but matches the texts' energy. Discussion questions and writing prompts are appended. Glos. Review covers these DC Super-Villains titles: Joker on the High Seas, Lex Luthor and the Kryptonite Caverns, and Black Manta and the Octopus Army.
