Book Review

Soon I Will Be Invincible (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Jun 05, 2007; Writer: Austin Grossman; Genres: Fantasy, Fiction; Publisher: Pantheon

When seemingly invincible superhero CoreFire disappears, the finger of suspicion points in the direction of his nemesis — and ''the fourth-most-infamous man alive'' — Doctor Impossible.

For Fans of...
Adult Swim's Venture Bros. cartoon.

Bottom Line
Although too affectionate to be an effective parody, Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible has its fun moments, as when Dr. Impossible bemoans, ''Henchmen are no use in a situation like this. Don't get me started about henchmen.''
