![]() Batman and Superman have been around since before I was born and I’m not tired of them yet. I am not usually a big fan of stories that never end but I make an exception for heroes. I want the plots to be complex and a little drawn out. I want to know more about what they are thinking and plotting. I want to know more about the characters. Certainly, much bigger than most novels in this genre, but again, I like that. The protagonist Min-Su is someone I can sympathize and empathize with, but to be honest, all these characters are portrayed in a very realistic way. It was immediately apparent that PB & Jason (Peanut Butter & Jelly?) is an interesting and exciting new voice in American literature. The writing is the first thing that captured my attention in Lightforce. ![]() This is the future of the United States, heroes of all kinds. ![]() I like that Min-Su Lee is part Korean, part Caucasian, and all American. He comes across as an old man in the same way that Spiderman sometimes does in Marvel comics and that’s a pretty good trick to be able to pull off. I like that the protagonist is young in spirit but has experienced enough of the harshness of life that at times he almost comes across as an old man. So, I guess it’s fair to say that Lightforce by PB & Jason, was written for guys like me. ![]()
