SuperGuy

by Kurt Clopton

Overview

Superheroes are common in Oliver's world. He doesn't pay them much attention since he's just trying to survive his city government internship and the latest useless--but time-sensitive--project that's been dropped on him. Then he mistakenly takes the super serum the Milwaukee mayor wrote into the budget to help his slumping re-election campaign. Now Oliver is dealing with an annoyed police chief, a surging crime wave, paparazzi, a super villain, a bit of romance, and the creepy ladies of the Milwaukee Flower and Garden Society. You expect the super villains to be trouble, but you never expect the bigger problem to be getting your city-issued car replaced after you've reduced it to a burning hunk of metal your first day on the job. If Oliver can survive the endless on-the-job training sessions, the awkwardness of the extremely generic but very tight suit, and getting thrown through the occasional wall or two, he might just have time to stop the bad guy from enslaving the world. No biggie.

Editorial Reviews

“SuperGuy may be a low-budget superhero, but his story doesn't skimp on laughs; a super-powered workplace comedy.” -Karen Eisenbrey, author of The Gospel According to St. Rage

“Sarcastic but never cynical, SuperGuy tosses the reader into a world where superheroes are just a serum away. Unfortunately, so are the supervillains. As a newly minted superhero, Oliver has a lot to learn into to be the hero Milwaukee deserves. Written in the tonal tradition of A. Lee Martinez with a dash of Christopher Moore, SuperGuy is delightful and entertaining.” — LeeAnn Elwood McLennan, author of Dormant and Root

“SuperGuy is SuperFunny, from the banter with the bad guy to the liaisons with the would-be love interest. SuperGuy is full of fabulous one-liners just like Oliver Olson himself. 'It could have just been some guy trying to corner the market on light beer, but we got somebody trying to take over the world.' Similarly, SuperGuy goes above and beyond; entertaining to the last page.” -Micayla Lally, author of A Work Of Art
