First half was great, really played with 'what if this was real'. Unfortunately, the big conflict fell flat, so the story became a big meh about halfway through. Unfortunate.

I really enjoyed this book, which I picked up at the library on a whim. Sure, most of the territory has been explored in various comic books, especially X-Men and Spider-man, but I found the story really engaging. For those of us who grew up with comic book superheroes, this book told a familiar story with some interesting twists.
