Look out, Spider-Man…

chance fortune…there’s a new hero in town!

In a world where superheroes are as common as mild-mannered reporters AND they have a whole island city, Megalopolis, where they live and train, Josh Blevins has, to his horror, been born without superpowers.  But never fear! Josh is determined to enter into Burlington Academy for the Superhuman the hard way, even if it means breaking a few rules here and there.

After a few forged documents, Josh, now known as Chance Fortune, enters the Academy to hone his super power: luck. He quickly makes a few friends (and enemies), and many of them are on his battle team, The Outlaws:

  • Space Cadet (S.C.), who makes super gadgets out of anything mechanical
  • Shocker, tough punk, who has laser-beam eyes
  • Gothicka, as good a witch as her attitude is bad
  • Iron Maiden, daughter of super Vikings
  • and many more…

Join the team as they battle arch-rivals The Invincibles and investigate some weird stuff happening at the Academy. And, if you’re a fan of comics, look for lots of in-jokes and homages.

Yes, Chance Fortune and the Outlaws by Shane Berryhill is a fun superhero romp that ends on a cliffhanger..so we can be sure to enjoy more of Chance’s adventures in the future!
