Publisher Description

Exploding from the pages of Horror, Humor, and Heroes, Volume One - it's the full length adventures of the one and only Mechani-Cal! So grab your battlesuit and prepare to get a little nasty.

Being a supervillain means never having to say you're sorry - unless it's to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don't really have to. It's not like it's going to change the outcome or anything. Those are the words of Calvin Matthew Stringel, better known as Mechani-Cal. He's a down-on-his-luck armored villain. Follow his exploits as he gets swept up in a world domination scheme gone wrong and ends up working for these weak willed, mercy loving heroes. Immerse yourself in epic battles and see what it's like to be an outsider looking in at a world that few have ever experienced. Climb into Cal's battlesuit and join him on his journey. Will he avoid selling out his principles for a paycheck and a pardon? Can he resist the camaraderie of being on a super team? Does he fall prey to the ample charms of the beautiful Olympian Aphrodite? How will he survive the jealous schemes of Ultraweapon, who wears armor so powerful it makes Cal's look like a museum piece?

See the world of righteous do-gooders through the eyes of someone who doesn't particularly care for them. Revel in his sarcasm and hang on for one wild ride! Just remember: losing an argument with a group of rioters isn't a good excuse to start lobbing tear gas indiscriminately at them. You've only got so many rounds and it's going to be a long day, so make sure you get as many as possible with each one.

"I'm stepped out of my usual romance genre and decided to read something different. Maybe I'm on a high after seeing "The Avengers" this weekend, but I really enjoyed delving into a world of superheroes and villains. What I liked most about this book: the hero was an ass. He knew this, didn't apologize for it, nor did he let anyone really change him from who he was. While other characters hem-hawed around him, he kept true to himself. He is like other genius artist I've met--don't bother me unless you have something really big to deal with. I also liked how the "good guys" were portrayed with tarnishes on their haloes. They weren't the best, and ultimately had the same failings as the rest of us humans do. What I didn't like was how the story line jumped around. The stops and starts felt somehow disconnected. In places, it was hard to keep up with the characters and how they related to the story. Overall, this was a very entertaining and quick read. Leave reality out the door and escape into some good action."

    " This book is totally "guy lit", not to be confused with "dude lit". See Jenny Grundberg's review of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' for a definition of dude lit. My husband gave this book 5 stars. I'm stretching to give it 2. "

    " This is a cute enough story if you're looking for a quick, easy read. It mostly reads like it was written by and for 12-year-old boys. "

    " Light, enjoyable superhero/supervillan romp. Nothing too deep or exciting, but enjoyable and a good send up of the genre in general. (view spoiler)[Sometimes the best good guy is a bad guy... (hide spoiler)] "

    " This was entertaining. I enjoyed it. Kept the action at a steady pace, but the editing errors bugged me and some of the writing sounded a little too trite. "

    " This book was a lot of fun. In fact, it is the most fun comic novel I have read since "Soon I Will Be Invincible". I can't recommend this book enough. "

    " This was a lot of fun. It's a quick read—just about enough for a flight to New England and the first morning when my wife slept in. Decent dialog, quick pacing, and a reasonably inventive plot twist at the end. Highly recommended for your beach-reading enjoyment. "

    " Superhero novel.This was a good plot. The narrative was a little awkward, and I can't quite put my finger on how; and the subplot with his girlfriend was a little cliche. But I liked the book. "

    " Excellent sci-fi story told mainly from the point of view of a down on his luck supervillain. Funny most of the time, there are serious parts that are handled with care. "
