Staff Picks (October 12): The Red Ten #1

The world’s greatest detective is dead, so who will bring her murderer to justice? This superheroic riff on Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is a love letter to capes and whodunits alike. Ten heroes brought together by vengeance pursue the villainous Oxymoron to his island lair, only to find he’s already dead. What follows is a series of mysterious murders uniquely tailored to each super-victim. With a cast of characters that pays tribute to beloved superhero archetypes (the speedster, the warrior princess, the vigilante with a tragic past), The Red Ten explores uniquely heroic weaknesses and character flaws without losing sight of its murder mystery roots. Highly recommended for classic whodunit fans, or for anyone who likes a fun twist in their superhero books.
