CrowsCrowCrow

B65/100
In a world of superheroes, Milly awakens her power as a speedster — only to find herself slowly drifting away from everyone around her. Her superspeed doesn't come with an off-switch, and her new perception of time threatens to alienate her from the world entirely. At the start of high school, Milly enrolls at Arkwright Academy, an all-girls boarding school far from her childhood home.

B64/100
Brooke believed she understood the tug-of-war between entities seeking to end or save humanity. She believed in the Vanguard — heroes granted immense power via contracts with the eldritch. She believed she would have no part in any of it, and above all, she believed in a path back to some semblance of normality. She was wrong. Follow Brooke and Roosevelt's incomprehensible journey as they contend with forces beyond understanding. As she delves deeper into the abyss, she'll find new allies, horrifying phobias, and a healthy respect for anything with more than two mouths.

An Antihero's Journey: Book One, The Crow

Malaklein

B64/100
Burton was a good man — if gullible — until his superhero girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, also a superhero, and his entire family took her side. In a fit of suicidal rage, something changed: he became a Wisher, smarter and sharper than before, yet fundamentally still himself. Now he lives as a vigilante — not an official hero but a rogue man of the night who beats up bad guys and has a talking dog and cat for company. He is a cynic, a loner, and a sadistic hermit with no love to give. That is about to change, and so is his pain.
