Worm is excellent capeshit, honestly. It's way closer to Boys capeshit than Marvel capeshit. It's a pretty dark and largely realistic take on what people with super powers would be like, and it's not a flattering one overall. Even the hero is an anti-villain, and not really for "badass" reasons. She is of course a bad ass, but that comes later.

Still, like any capeshit, even the sardonic kind, it plainly loves superheros. It is indeed like 12 novels long. Gripping, though. I read it over a couple of months at a slow job and was glad to have it.
