This is my crack.... I eagerly anticipate each release of this series. I took the whole thing with my to Thailand and listened through it. I love the reading, the story, the characters. Please keep my addiction fed... need more releases!By: normallistener
I happened to come across this series while looking for things to listen to while at work and have been hooked ever since. It's a rather interesting take on the whole "Super Hero" world. The stories are great, the Chars interesting, and the narration by Veronica Giguere is top notch. Keep up the good work Lackey, Steve, Veronica, and everyone on the SWC team.
