Anna is a low-level henchwoman-for-hire when she becomes an accidental casualty in one of hero Supercollider's rescues. Laid up with a spiral fracture to her leg, Anna starts running the numbers on how much property damage and loss of life these heroes cost the city. Before long, she has started a blog and gained the attention of Leviathan, a supervillain who thinks she has potential. Next thing she knows, Anna is climbing up the villainous corporate ladder, scheming against heroes while manipulating her spreadsheets.
This is a wonderfully creative book that manages to examine both the nature of heroes and cubicle life, with plenty of feminist snark and humor to boot. Fans of Catherynne Valente's The Refrigerator Monologues and Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible will LOVE this book.
