“[O]n the whole, Superheroes is a good anthology with solid stories. Best of all, unlike some of my previous forays reading superheroes stories, reading this was thankfully (mostly) free of Vein-Popping Moments of Deep Distress. By that, I mean: Taken as a whole, the stories were not sexist, managing to skirt writing stereotypically hyper-sexualized female characters, for example. Also good: There are several stories featuring PoC and the anthology has a great balance between female and male authors. Those points already make this a successful anthology…I really enjoyed this anthology and highly recommend it to superheroes enthusiasts . . . ”
