This was a ton of fun. It's queer. It's got fun superhero stuff in it. And, perhaps most fun of all, the character is a manic kid with ADHD trying to figure out what that means for him and those he cares about. I could have done with a little less cop stuff (the main character's dad is a cop and it leads to more than a little copaganda with anything involving him and his colleagues), so I've knocked it down a peg for that. The reveals weren't exactly surprising to me, but I'm not entirely sure they were supposed to be given that it seems like everyone but Nick had also figured them out, so it's not really surprising that the reader would be expected to be ahead of him, as well.
