Shadows of a Superhero
Shadows of a Superhero
A mysterious villain just beat the life out of the city's greatest hero.
The Light has fallen.
Nothing ever goes according to plan.
The Light was his city's patron superhero; as his sidekick, Red—Zach Redinger, is suddenly thrust into a world without his champion after the mighty TL falls to a mysterious super-powered madman known only as Black. Now Red, a speedster named Janet, and Franklin (The Light's wheelchair-bound former side-kick,) must find Black and prevent his horrible plans from coming to fruition. If they can’t pinpoint this maniac before his doomsday weapon is activated, tomorrow might not come for anyone.
The sidekicks’ plan is full of problems: Red doesn't have any real powers and noone knew why the Light chose him, Janet can't admit her secret love for Redinger, and the deeper Franklin digs, the more he's convinced that Black isn't real—but that their enemy is somehow closer and far worse than any could imagine.

4.5 stars - (review request submitted by the author for an honest critique)
When we think of superheroes, we don't always stop and wonder how they must feel when a member of their own team gets hurt. The internal battle raging instead them because they feel as if they should've done more, fought harder, been quicker, etc.
When you're a sidekick, you never really imagine your "boss" will get seriously injured. You think of them as super humans but, in actuality, most are merely humans. Ok, some aren't. We all know some superheroes have wicked cool powers but everyone can get hurt -- somehow.
No matter if you are super quick, strong, or can shine a light so bright everyone around you will need (super)shades to withstand having their retinas fried, all super brings have one thing in common..... a super foe. In this case, we meet Black and his sidekick.... (keeping name a secret)
Like in any comic book, movie, graphic novel, tv show etc, fans will experience a car chase scene, heroes will thwart an evil plan, and futuristic tech will be utilized. Never fear though, Christopher did go old-school with the usage of grappling guns. The only thing missing from this story was PICTURES and maybe a few... BAM! CRASH! KAPOW! ZAP! ..... thrown into the mix.

This book shines best when it comes to action. It's everywhere, its intense and its glorious. All the energy surges and fighting styles were very anime-ish (at least that's how I envisioned it.) and I really think someone should turn Shadows of a Superhero into a movie. (or two! Since the fight is far from over!) :D
