Publisher's summary

Exploding from the pages of Horror, Humor, and Heroes, Volume One - it’s the full length adventures of the one and only Mechani-Cal! So grab your battlesuit and prepare to get a little nasty.

"Being a supervillain means never having to say you’re sorry - unless it’s to the judge or the parole board. Even then, you don’t really have to. It’s not like it’s going to change the outcome or anything." Those are the words of Calvin Matthew Stringel, better known as Mechani-Cal. He’s a down-on-his-luck armored villain. Follow his exploits as he gets swept up in a world domination scheme gone wrong and ends up working for these weak willed, mercy loving heroes. Immerse yourself in epic battles and see what it’s like to be an outsider looking in at a world that few have ever experienced. Climb into Cal’s battlesuit and join him on his journey. Will he avoid selling out his principles for a paycheck and a pardon? Can he resist the camaraderie of being on a super team? Does he fall prey to the ample charms of the beautiful Olympian Aphrodite? How will he survive the jealous schemes of Ultraweapon, who wears armor so powerful it makes Cal’s look like a museum piece?

See the world of “righteous do-gooders” through the eyes of someone who doesn’t particularly care for them. Revel in his sarcasm and hang on for one wild ride! Just remember: losing an argument with a group of rioters isn’t a good excuse to start lobbing tear gas indiscriminately at them. You’ve only got so many rounds and it’s going to be a long day, so make sure you get as many as possible with each one.

Just a really good time.

I really enjoyed this book, I found myself laughing out loud several times during the listen. I think the reader does a great job with the sarcasm and general smart a#% attitude of Kal. I was on a long trip at the time and this is one of the only audio books Ive ever listened to twice in one trip.

I just wish it was longer, Cant wait to see if there's a second book

A must read!

This book is just fun. Have no fear, it is worth the credit. It makes you anxious for the next.

I am so Disappointed that this isnt a BEST SELLER!

Why did I wait so long to listen to this?!

Any additional comments?

Usually I am always the guy who cheers for the hero. But this time I am way on the side of the villain. The clever writing, dialogue, and storyline really drew me in. Honestly, it has been a long time since I've been this entertained by an audiobook. I can't tell you how happy I am to know that there are additional books on the horizon for this series. They can't get here soon enough!

won't dissapoint

Would you consider the audio edition of Confessions of a D-List Supervillain to be better than the print version?

If you read the title and are still interested in this story then you probably will like it. It's campy, fun and pokes a lot of fun at the superhero mythologies. My only complaint is that it is too short.

Tons of fun

Creative, funny, and engaging, I liked it a lot. This is a definite 5 * for me.

If you like D-List Supervillain, check out Emperor Mollusk vs. The Sinister Brain, too.

Villians Rock

Fun, funny and just plan cool this book is for anyone who enjoys superhero stories. Cal makes an awesome antihero and hearing his thoughts on things is just plan hilarious at times. I felt the ending was a bit rushed but all same this was a fun if a bit short, ride.

Entertaining all around!

The book moved along well. I easily get impatient with books wherein the story starts to drag but this one kept my interest all the way through. I can't wait to listen to the other two!
