I purchased the E-book version of this:
Truth be told I read this all on the web version which does have a few extra words and missing words on occasion. I have not really seen many spelling problems. So really Jim Zoetewey does an excellent job of keeping his ongoing work on the web in both tight story and excellent grammar. For me though what really helps is that this all take place in Michigan. Being a native of Michigan the story brings a slice of home into the world building.

Back in World War II there was a group of Superheroes who fought crime and villains and had their headquarters underground at a downtown shop. There were the telepathic, the one that could run up to 200MPH, the wolf, the rocket, and more. These heroes were also family men who had kids and grand kids that had their ability. The grand kids one day came up with the idea to do what their grandparents did and fight crime. That is where things start to go wrong they have men following them, the mayor...more
Disclaimer: I received this book from the author in exchange for a review.
A delightful tale of superheroes, their grandchildren, and the same old evil.
I am not the biggest fan of the traditional superheroes including Spiderman, Superman, and the Flash. I always liked Batman the best. But I always liked X-Men though. So in short, I think like non-traditional superheroes the best so I think that is why I enjoy superhero fiction. I think part of it is the ingenuity that is needed to create a pleth...more

The grandchildren of famous superheroes decide to take over and rid the world of all the evil. Taking it under themselves to be vigilantes and work their way from stopping petty theft's to fighting well known villain's will prove a bit difficult but not impossible for this young group of Superheroes.
I absolutely loved this book. Now, I was willing to give this book a try because I love me some superheroes but this was totally out of the genres I usually read in. Who doesn't love teen superheroes...more

In a world where superheroes are real, Nick Klein never meant to follow in his grandfather's shoes.
I first read The Legion of Nothing on a whim. I was looking for a new online story to read after finishing Sailor Nothing. I wasn't sure what I was walking into--a serialized superhero story? But I haven't been disappointed yet.
Rebirth includes Book I from Zoetewey's website (and I highly recommend checking out the rest of the series). It's a good, solid start. The characters are mostly introduce...more

I've been following the story as it develops online. It is a very fun and unique spin on both the superhero and young adult genres. Great insight in the mind of a teenage genius. Lots of geeky inside jokes too.

Jim Zoetewey grew up in Holland, Michigan, near where L Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz and other books in that series. Admittedly, Baum moved away more than sixty years before Jim was even born, but it's still kind of cool.
