John McNally is at it again. The author (The Book of Ralph, America’s Report Card) and editor who brought us When I Was a Loser: True Tales of Barely Surviving High School has a brand new anthology, Who Can Save Us Now?: Brand-New Superheroes and Their Amazing (Short) Stories.

This one, co-edited with Owen King, features stories with titles like this: “The Pentecostal Home for Flying Children.” That’s Will Clarke’s tale of “a town under siege by the teenage offspring of an alien superhero” (NPR).

From Booklist:

Working out of places like Cleveland and Shreveport, they boast a mind-boggling array of mutant abilities. The stories’ authors have their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks as their superheroes declare “great legs!” to the girl in distress they’ve just saved, or boast that “I diverted a nuclear missile. I sidetracked a civil war. I removed a cat from a tree.” The eye-catching cover graphic is supplemented by interior black-and-white line drawings by the talented Chris Burnham. Fresh and fun, this collection is sure to please everyone from the classic comics lover to the newbie Heroes fan.
