Hm... I don't think I have thought of American Gods as "superhero fiction". But... maybe? And I thought this list was for "literary treatments" (e.g. prose, text, etc.) though there are a lot of votes for (great) graphic novels here, too. Is there a list for just "superhero novels"?

I think this list started as a novels about superheroes list, but it evolved a bit over time for better or worse. Hence the included graphic novels.

I think I would argue that American Gods should/can be included, but I can see both sides.

Van Plexico Sentinel books are must read for any fan of the Avengers. Also check out his Mars book. If you like John Carter or the old Thundarr the Barbarian cartoons you will Blackthorn.

Wayne Reinagel's Pulp Heroes series is amazing. I've kidded him on the Book Cave podcast about having everything including the kitchen sink. I meant it as a compliment. Wayne is one of the few writers that can have a cast of thousand in his books and able to give each their own voice.

I think Watchmen, and any other comics, should be removed from this list. It's supposed to be about superhero FICTION, not graphica. That's why it's a unqiue list.

American Gods does not include superheroes. Please remove it.

The list creator needs to put more exceptions in the description. Otherwise if a librarian removes books based on the comments, it may not be what the creator intended. I assume it's for fiction novels only, but it doesn't actually state that. They also used comics, etc., in their tags.

Removed American Gods since it does not include superheroes.

What's The Dresden Files doing on this list?

Second Keith's question as to why The Dresden Files are here.

Fear Her Wrath by James Murnau (Goodreads has him listed as Tim James) needs more readers! I need more people to geek out with! The characters are super fun, the lore is fascinating and it's a great take on the whole superhero genre. It's a pretty obvious Batman tribute (it makes a lot of references to Batman in the book) but it's like what if Batman was a teenage girl with anger issues and a more limited budget. Instead of being a rich guy coming down to save the normal people, it's someone who has experienced the corruption of her city day in and day out.

The Simon Superhero trilogy by Lucas Mayberry is one of the best series I've read. The first two ar really good, but the third one blew me away.
