This kind of feels like a more vicious Batman character

I don’t know much about X & Arcadia City, so I don’t want to necessarily too much of a downer. I honestly don’t how intriguing this series might be to me.

Not For Me

This was a poor choice on my part. I picked this audio book because people had talked about the full cast and audio effects.
They were right, the effects and especially the cast was amazing. Even in some confusing scenes having various cast members rather than one person changing their voice to reflect different characters really helped. They painted a vivid group of people. With that said, this story was not for me. It is a vigilante anti-hero that kills villains but also kills civilians. The hero doesn't have powers (except maybe healing) and makes up for it by showing fortitude and I didn't find that appealing.
