More at 2.5 stars. Behind the scenes look at superherodom. The Evil Dr Impossible parts were the most entertaining because he was given the most depth. However, it lost momentum about half way through and was a small struggle to finish.
This was awesome! Totally entertaining, funny and I really liked the characters. Basically this book takes a look at the lives of superheroes, but in a way that highlights the ordinariness of their lives. Who's divorced from who, group politics of the superhero hero's group, insecurities of the supervillian, etc. I really enjoyed this and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys quirkiness and nerds.

My only criticism is that the narrative voice is not distinct between the two characters. Yes, their points of view and thoughts are separated, and yes, I never confused them-- but the actual narration of the story-- sentence structure, descriptive language, etc.-- was often quite similar between the two narrators. It pulled me out of the story a little, which was otherwise engrossing.
