The G-Man Super Journal: Awesome Origins

225 pp. | Andrews | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4494-5844-7 $13.99
(4) 4-6 Middle schooler Michael G--a.k.a. G-Man--recounts his superhero origin story in journal entries and black-and-white line drawings (mining Wimpy Kid territory). Along the way, G-Man and friends save the day by defeating villainous Mister Mental. The narrative borrows heavily from countless other superhero origin stories; while there's not much new here, fans of the genre will find G-Man's adventures entertaining.
