Review:
I did find this to be amusing as well as interesting. This story follows Eugene Goodman who is a psychiatrist who specializes in treating superheroes. He goes by the name Dr. Ego.
The story also focus on superhero Lester who is the son of
two of the world’s best superheroes. But he doesn’t have the best relationship
with either of them. Lester is seeing the doctor because despite being one of
the most powerful beings he has a problem with self-esteem. And it doesn’t help
that he has a scrawny physique and he’s also 29 years old but due to his slow aging
he’s basically a 16 year old boy (in mind and body).
As the story continues, the reader sees even more of Dr. Ego’s
patients but you also get to know about the doctor and why he’s chosen to help
superheroes.
Despite the humor there are some dark moments in this but it's a very good story even if it take a few laughs at some of today's most popular superheroes.
