This was another fun superheroes vs monsters story. The action picks up fairly immediately after the last one ended, but with a switch in narration; this gives the story a fresh new feel. It's very much a “chapter 2” sort of feel, compared to a book that still stands on its own. This makes sense given the comic book inspiration of the story, but is something readers should be aware of.

I should add, as well, that part of what makes this series fun for me, as well, is the Waterloo setting. It's been a long time since I lived in that city, but I can still recall a lot of the local landmarks that get featured and it creates an extra level of connection to the story.
