Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. As of today, this is my absolute FAVORITE Phipps story! As a prolific reader, the crossovers and pure fan-fic-ness of this book appealed to my inner comic book nerd, in a huge way. The author tends toward pop culture and pure craziness, but I wasn't ready for Tournament. I absolutely loved this book, hard. When recommending, I'm going to tell all of my people that THIS IS THE BOOK THEY'VE BEEN WAITING FOR! Gary and his harem...ahem, retinue... face some universe altering challenges, along with Jane and G, and all the other Supervillainy peripherals. Oh, yeah, I loved this book. The Tournament of Supervillainy (The Supervillainy Saga #5) by C.T. Phipps is a book I requested and the review is voluntary. I just love this zany series! Our super villains get conned into going to a Tournament where there will be Supers from all over the multi -verse. Super heroes and villains! The problem is, our super villain only kills bad guys when he has to...not much of a Super villain right? Just don't let him hear you say that, he might send his wife or girlfriend after you! Or worse still, his young daughter! Yikes! This book has the best characters! It even has some from his other books characters making an appearance! To the other worlds, he is a comic book character. This book has what I love in this series, the humor, crazy situations, unpredictable plot, favorite characters, zany action and dialogue, and I get a lot of giggles out of it! Another great read! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Gary Karkofsky a.k.a Merciless the Supervillain without MercyTM is presently the most disliked supervillain in the world. Superheroes don't want to just throw him in jail, they want to deliver an epic beat down for ending their golden age by killing Merciful the Superhero with MercyTM. His fellow supervillains aren't much better, either jealous of his success or loathing him for all the other baddies he's killed. Also, what's up with his wife Mandy? She's been acting extra-strange since getting her soul back (long story). That's when Gary receives an invitation to the Primal Fighting Tournament-an interdimensional contest involving all the universe's greatest warriors. The prize? A wish with no limitations. Gary can finally get on that world domination thing he's been putting off.Unfortunately, Gary is competing against good and evil way above his league. Not only Gabrielle Anders a.k.a Ultragoddess, his former fiancé, but Entropicus the Space God of Evil. Thankfully, Gary has allies from unexpected sources including Jane Doe, the protagonist of I was a Teenage Weredeer, G from Agent G, and Cassius Mass from Lucifer's Star.***"The perfect crossover.

Once again, Gary is at the center of everything. He’s got to save the universe and his only way to do that is to go through this tournament. There’s few to no rules, depending on how evil organizer sees it. People die, unexpected characters pop in for an assist, and Gary has to make some tough choices.
Gary missed the orientation, which had all sorts of great info about the tournament and their venue, like how to get into your hotel room. For some reason, Cindy (Gary’s girlfriend and baby momma) knows the answer to that and it involves a panda. Ha! Cindy cracks me up because she is casual evil and not ashamed of it. She breaks rules all the time just because they are there, not because she’s malicious… not always…. And I love her comments about sexuality and her outfit. At one point, another female character tells her she’s embarrassing their gender, yanking it down into the 1950s or such, and Cindy doesn’t care.
Wise cracks, pop culture references, and action all compete for your attention in this book, in balanced doses. I love all the pop culture references even if I haven’t played Mortal Combat. I especially liked the reference to Mechani-Cal, a character from another superhero/supervillain series by Jim Bernheimer. Yay!
By the end, we finally have some answers about Mandy (Gary’s wife who now is a vampire). This has been a little bit of mystery to me and I was glad to see we got some solid resolution on that. It was also great to have a cameo of Gizmo (aka Leia – Gary and Cindy’s daughter). She’s still a bit young to join in a Tournament of Evil (or is she? being the braniac she is). The end leaves us with a hint of what may come for the series. 5/5 stars.
The Narration: Jeffrey Kafer continues to be one of my favorite narrators and he doesn’t disappoint here. His accent for Cindy is perfect (because it so matches her sass). I also like his voices for Jane Doe (who takes everything in stride). Kafer has distinct voices for all the characters, delivers the humor with perfect timing, and you can tell he enjoys narrating this series. 5/5 stars.
I received a complimentary review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are truly my own. ( )
