Other
People's Heroes
Imagine, for a moment, that you live
in a world full of superheroes. Imagine a world where
people bend steel in their bare hands, where champions
dart across the sky, where avengers step out of the
shadows to protect the innocent. Imagine a man larger
than life protecting the innocent, imagine a family
of heroes, imagine warriors dedicated to the safety
of mankind. Imagine you've worshiped them your entire
life.
Then
imagine it's all a hoax. Imagine that your champions
are actors, the fights choreographed... imagine the
real heroes vanished a decade ago. Imagine you're
the only one who knows the truth. And imagine what
you would do to put things right...
Blake M. Petit's
Biography:
Blake M. Petit, 24, is a native and resident of
Ama, Louisiana. He has published various short stories,
written a stage play (The 3-D Radio Show), and his
weekly humor column, "Think About It," appears
weekly in the St. Charles Herald-Guide newspaper.
An
Excellent Read
Sometimes a book comes along that just makes you
feel good about yourself and the world around you.
This is one of those books. Mr. Petit has captured
the brilliance of the world of superheroes with
spectacular fights, a fascinating plot, and awesome
characters. Joshua Corwood is easy to relate to
as he represents to me, at least, the good majority
of comic book fans: people who dream of becoming
something more than they are. It's an absolutely
wonderful book and it really awakened my love of
comics again. - Jennifer
Stan
Lee meets Vince McMahon
I love this concept. Spandex-clad superheroes (with
actual superpowers, mind you) staging fights all
over the city. Not only is it a very entertaining
read, but it also pokes fun at the people who beleive
wrestling is real. Mr. Petit has a winner. - Jason
