Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero… af Jeff Yang
Loved the nods to comics of old and the running threads through stories by different authors. Was both clever and poignant in the metaphor of secret identities for Asian Americans. Appreciated that it gave space specifically to women's stories as well. Would recommend.
Although I enjoy manga and comics, I'm not a big superhero story fan. Still, this book is a great way to highlight the many Asian-American talents in the graphic-novel/comic world. The fave for me was "You Are What You Eat."

"Power-wise the stories run the gamut, and it's all fine, but in some of the pieces it was unclear what the heroes' power actually were, and that's not good when you're trying to tell a superhero story. A lot of the problems in this anthology come from the length of the pieces—the stories are very short, and there's not a lot of space to give you an origin and a plot. Few (if any) of the stories were able to balance origin and plot in their alloted space; many pieces just felt like previews for some upcoming comic, others were unclear in who/what their heroes were, and too many of them just plain ended. It made for a very stuttering and unsatisfying read."… (mere)
