Happy surprise

This is a remarkably good and fun story of a world parallel to ours with supers being real and fully realized in society. I like the main character well enough but the narrator is what really seals the deal. I started listening to have something on while doing chores and didn’t really pay attention to how long it was and found myself disappointed when it was nearing the end of the first story. Much to my delight it’s multiple books in one which is how I know I like it. I’m not usually one for series but this author did a great job of inserting back story without it being clunky and keeping doors open without it being hokey.

If you love- actually love comics, rpgs, and other “geek” culture this is for you. It’s not gatekeeperish or pandering. The characters are diverse again without being pandering. Good job.

Funny, interesting, and just a great listen

The story is just perfect. So much humor involved. Still a story that gets you invested in the caracters.
Great reading by Jeffrey Kafer

Highly recommend it.

Awesome audiobook

I have really enjoyed listening to the Supervillainy Saga. It is a fun film-noirish story with good character development. Anyone interested in superhero fiction will enjoy this.

Super Villans

Gotta say this book is great. But listening to it reminds me of the Villans Pride books lol 😆 very very similar

Fun Listen

It's a really fun listen. Way too many pop culture references though. Initially I had quite a hard time determining which characters were speaking but eventually I got used to Jeffery's style of narration.

Fun

An anti villain mashup of unlikely frienenemy’s that have to make self sacrifice for the better, that’s right: selfish means. The story plays out in an alternate universe where everything’s possible because of magic, aliens and unbridled technology that’s only limited by your imagination. Personally I’m not a popculture reference buff but if you’re into that humor, the main character banter flashes his knowledge like a drama queen, although I’m not into that scene, its concept is still fun and didn’t stall the story like it can. Overall it was a fun read that puts a twist on a Deadpool anti hero feeling but on the anti villain side of the story. If marvel or superhero’s is your means of entertainment heck even if it’s not. This book will keep you entertained and engaged until the end. Good job to the author and narrator for another well done book.

Bang! Pow@ Zap$ look all those wonderful puns!!!!

C, T Phipps is killing it in life and in the written word. If you like Puns, bad humor, and all-around tomfoolery then you will love this series. With its madcap antics and the amazing cast of characters, Phipps paints a rich albeit sometimes insane world. Gary Karkofsky AKA merciless the villain without mercy is an anti-hero with a penchant for bad puns, pop culture references, and all-around hilarity. the supporting cast to Gary's league of supervillains is also perfect for this book. if you like humor and superheroes this is your jam. Sometimes we just want to watch the world burn and brother this is it. The story is excellent his world-building is great and the narration is superb. I give it ten out of ten Scott bakula's.

combination of satire and slap stick

thoroughly enjoyed it. fifteen words fifteen words fifteen words fifteen words fifteen words fifteen words fifteen seven unique combination of characters

It was an OK story!

This was an OK story. The storyline was a bit too silly for me but I think it would definitely be a good read for people who like that style of humor.

A great comic book novel

THE SUPERVILLAINY SAGA (Volume 1) by C. T. Phipps is a pretty fun romp of a book (well, group of books). This audio book is about 800 pages of actual books (the first three books in this particular series). Jeffrey Kafer is very easy to understand as the narrator of this audiobook. Even at faster speeds. I tend to set the speed to 1.5+ for a lot of audiobooks, and Kafer’s enunciation is perfect for this.

The plot of this series is very comic-book like. Silly, evil plots, wild characters, drama, tragedy (think Spider-Man), and lot of pop-culture references (without it feeling like they’re all just stuck there to make you nod and say, “got it.”). Is it overly political? I don’t think so.

Overall, the books are full of quips and funny moments that will keep you having a good time.

I received this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
