The Prospects: Nothing Poorer Than Gods

“I’ve dealt with superheroes long enough to know that they only exist in their own minds. Their masks keep them from seeing how far below their own standards they are.”


One month later, the New York Guardians must rebuild their home and reputation, and the Prospects have a new lineup of trainees with more good intentions than powers. Meanwhile, a spymaster from a forgotten war raises a secret army of monsters to reshape the nation in his vision. In a world where heroes mask their intentions more than their faces and villains aren’t always bad guys, an honest but oblivious government agent, a former model who is above-average at everything, a failed actor with the ability to make light, a mutant as durable and almost as slow as a rock, and a somewhat-reformed villainess must find clues from the past to save the future.
