About this listen

Garys back. Tell a friend.”

Gary Karkofsky AKA Merciless: The Supervillain without Mercy

TM has managed to fall into a comfortable routine as the (acting) Supreme Archmage of Earth. More hero than villain these days, he’s recruited to a shadowy black ops team with a shocking mission: assassinate Helios: The Sun King, ruler of Tomorrow Island. Gary immediately twigs to the fact he’s the fall guy even as he has his own score to settle with Helios. Joining him will be a number of fan favorite characters as well as several new additions to the surreal world of the Supervillainy Saga.

The Return of Supervillainy is the tenth volume of the Supervillainy Saga, following the world’s worst (best?) supervillain. It has two bonus stories in “Sidekick Girl versus Merciless” and “The Freelancer’s Cunning Plan.” It also contains “The Guide to the Supervillainy Saga” which will detail the entire history of the setting for long-term and new fans.

This is tenth edition of the Supervillainy Saga, and it lives up to it!

There's no series fatigue here, it is absolutely wild! I think it's actually my favorite of the series, with Horror, and Tournament placing closely behind.

To give you an idea of how wild this is, the opening scene involves Gary taking THE DEVIL to court (in a scene that borrows nothing from a certain Spider-Man comic, and is obviously legally distinct)!

The following chapter has Mandy kidnapped by another group of born Supers (who are legally distinct from mutants in every sense!), and somehow has Gary singlehandedly attacking an aircraft carrier (that is legally distinct from an Avengers Helicarrier in every way!).

I won't spoil anything else beyond the first two chapters, but I can guarantee that you won't see what happens next at all, it's crazy even for Gary!
Also, Kafer's narration was really on point for this one!

Ten books in and still going strong!
