Jan-Feb 2015 Book of the Month

[Jim, The Ulti-Moderator]

Let's get this started! Please nominate a prose novel (rather than graphic novel) about an established comic-book superhero. DC, Marvel, or any other publisher. (However, please leave out novelizations of comics - we will have that as a genre later in the year. Also, please leave out short story collections since we'll have a specific category for that this year, too.)

[Salvatore]

Wayne of Gotham by Tracy Hickman is a good one

[Jim, The Ulti-Moderator]

I'll close nominations on December 12. Make sure you get yours in before then!

[Athena Shardbearer]

I nominate Deadpool: Secret Invasion

[Mike]

The Further Adventures of Superman

@Athena and @Ashley - I think both of those Deadpool books are TPBs, right? (Thanks for posting the link!) I'm sorry - we're looking for prose novels, not graphic novels. I should have been more clear in my original post. My bad.

[Jim, The Ulti-Moderator]

@Mike - you're referring to the short story collection, right?

That's a good one, but I think we want to stick to a complete novel. Our bonus book for the second quarter is going to be short story collections. Please come back and nominate when we get to that point. Again, I should have been clearer. We could probably normally include it, but since we have a specific schedule to read a short story book, and since we've reduced the number of books in a year, this will be the only time we read a complete novel based on an established comic character this year, so I'd like to stick with novels.

Oopsy! No, that's my bad actually. You definitely said prose in the first post.

[Steven]

Darn miss by one day!

No - that was actually my bad! :) After the Deadpool suggestions, I modified the original post to indicate my original intent. I don't think it said "prose" originally. I just went back to clarify for later readers.
