Get a sneak peek of Last Night, a Superhero Saved my Life!
As broad as our exponentially growing cultural fascination with caped crusaders is, it runs just as deep as this long awaited anthology underscores. Liesa Mignogna the VP, Editorial Director at Simon Pulse and editor of this anthology can expound on the virtues of Batman (her wedding was even Batman-themed) but it's her retelling of incredibly harrowing yet ultimately inspiring encounters with The Dark Knight over the years, as she struggled to coexist with the supervillains in her own family that birthed this collection.
Last Night, A Superhero Saved My Life gives readers the chance to connect to their beloved authors, while those same authors connect to their beloved superheroes, and within that feedback loop of respect and admiration lies a stellar, and phenomenally accessible, anthology full of thrills, chills, and spills.
Contributors include New York Times bestsellers Christopher Golden, Leigh Bardugo, Brad Meltzer, Neil Gaiman, Carrie Vaughn, Jodi Picoult, and Jamie Ford, as well as award-winners and mainstays like Joe R. Lansdale, Karina Cooper, and Ron Currie, Jr among many others. Last Night, A Superhero Saved My Life's authors share their most hilarious and most heart wrenching experiences with their chosen defender to explain why superheroes matter, what they tell us about who we are, and what they mean for our future.

No, so their identities are secret. So what if the hero and villain were best friends? What if they were roommates? What if they were falling for each other? And what happens when they find out?

Masks are Greater than Sunglasses [ COMPLETE ]
COMPLETE ***** "That mask covers like 2% of your face a good pair of sunglasses would be more effective." "Hey, in every Superhero movie when they are in disguise that's what they wear and no one recognizes them." ***** Rya Morgan hates Superheroes. Well, maybe not hates. But in a world where everyone adores the enhanced, Rya's avid distrust makes her an outsider in a sea of mega fans. So when she's thrust from her relatively normal life into a classically cliched Superhero story, Rya fights her hardest to get out. Too bad her best friend Trey Roberts also happens to be the newest member of the League of Heroes. He might be new to the whole Superhero thing, but he's not going to let Rya get hurt on his watch. Unfortunately, that leaves just one option, for Trey's mysterious partner LP to intervene. For a Hero, he sure does have an off-the-books way of working that causes he and Rya to clash instantly. The more ingrained into her life the Supers become the more desperate Rya is to figure out who's targeting her, and more importantly, who LP is beneath the mask. Rya is willing to do anything for the truth. Anything, that is, except reliving the memories she's tried so hard to erase. ***** | First Place | The Pizza Awards ***** Warnings : Mild language, Mentions of depression and suicideComplete
Scarlet Justice - Young Justice Fanfiction

Every superhero starts out with their share of traumatic stories. Kristen has to decide if she wants to stay in the shadows of her traumas or not. I write, not steal.

Harley Quinn and Deadpool: Dangerous Love
When the Marvel and DC universe clash, Harley Quinn and Deadpool are introduced as two maniacs trying to pull off a plan to either save or destroy New York, but end up falling in love and madness. Together... "Dangerous Love by TheAutumnSoldier_ has proved that both the DC Universe and the Marvel Universe could collide and still be a hit. Following a love triangle, Dangerous Love has the base of a romance, the ideology of an action flick and a cherry of side splitting comedy on top. The incredibly fast paced action pairs extremely well with the witty and almost grotesque dialogue and it is amazing how close TheAutumnSoldier_ has written Deadpool's dialogue.. Whilst the book focuses on the three main characters, you aren't subjected to sideline cameos, every character introduced serves a big purpose. No matter how many characters in the chapters TheAutumnSoldier_ has still made the audience feel and emotionally connect with the mains. Overall, this book has explosive action, incredible dialogue and a finale that will leave you out of breath" - TheRogueOne_Complete
