Name’s Jess. The superhero version is called Just Jess, but I feel like Desperate Jess is a better moniker. My to-do list grew exponentially. (Translation: In addition to my normal duties of reviewing superpowers, I have to find a cure for my sister, solve two power puzzles, and work with Mayor Shady Pants’s misfit crew of Supers.) Saving my sister may involve defying the government overlords and that’s not healthy for other people in my life.
