About this listen

Engineer. Survivor. Supervillain.

When a down-on-his-luck engineer ends up coming into possession of a rundown suit of power-armor, he sees an opportunity to make some quick cash by selling it off to the nearest supervillain.

Unfortunately for him, what should have been a quick and easy sale to pay off his debts quickly grows into an ongoing series of events that serve only to drag him deeper and deeper into the criminal underbelly of the city he calls home.

In no time at all, Erich finds himself fending off neo-Nazi gang members, crazed capes, and the dangerous affections of his newest employer's criminally insane daughter.

All he wanted to do was make a quick buck . . . .

Good entertainment that leaves appetite for more

I enjoyed the world building and the performance of the narrator was great. If you like shows like "the boys" or "invincible", this is that type of universe, even though the story so far is a bit inferior. Still, I'll be here for the sequel. Good job to the author for making a villain angle work.

Not BAD, but I wouldn't want to spend more time with the core cast.

Now it's done I can safely say I hated all the characters, even if some of them can be sympathetic. I also can't help but think the last chapter revealed a story I'd rather have listened to. That said it was vaguely entertaining, the story isn't bad, but without connecting to the characters I can't help but feel ambivalent.

Fun superhero drama with smarts

While I am not a big fan of superhero themed stories, this one grabbed my attention and ran with it. Interesting, believable and flawed characters, plot twists and well written action.

Good performance of so-so writing

Even Neil's performance couldn't rescue this story. Abrupt scene ends and unconvincing character motivations abound.
