From MAKE 5 contributor John McNally:My new book WHO CAN SAVE US NOW?: BRAND-NEW SUPERHEROES AND THEIR AMAZING (SHORT) STORIES, coedited with writer extraordinaire Owen King, is available now from Amazon and should be available everywhere soon if it isn’t already on the shelves. As the title states, the book features 22 brand-spanking-new stories featuring brand-spanking-new superheroes, with a few villains thrown in for good measure. (For those of you who happen to be from -- or around -- Burbank, Illinois, my story features a superhero who lives in Burbank.) A few of the writers included are Jennifer Weiner, George Singleton, David Yoo, Elizabeth Crane, Richard Dooling, Jim Shepard, Will Clarke, Kelly Braffet, J. Robert Lennon, Sean Doolittle, Tom Bissell, and Sam Weller. It also includes kick-ass illustrations by the wildly talented Chris Burnham.
