Episode 26 - Not All Himbos Wear Capes (w/ Josh Fekete)

Summary

This week we were joined by special guest (and certified comic book knower/nerd) Josh Fekete for Not All Himbos Wear Capes by C. Rochelle! Katie couldn't wait to regale the boys with sexy superhero action, and holy heck was it ever sexy! Book Description Xander Big City is supposedly the place where dreams come true. As someone just trying to live my life, I can tell you, it’s more like a recurring nightmare where dreams get c*ckblocked at every turn. Especially if you’re a supervillain like me. The irony is that I have zero powers, despite coming from purebred villain stock, but try telling that to Big City’s beloved hero, Captain Masculine. This himbo is ruining my research, and if his firepower doesn’t kill me, the sight of him in Lycra surely will. Luckily—or unluckily, in my opinion—my bestie just signed me up for the Bangers dating app and found my perfect match. If this isn’t the start of my villain arc, I don’t know what is. Butch It’s hard feeling like I have to wear a mask every day—that the only value I bring to the table is the sparkling image others have created for me. Such is the life of being Captain Masculine, Big City’s greatest superhero. This is the existence I was destined for, and I will gladly defend this city against every threat to its people. Except Doctor Antihero. I’ve seen countless villains come and go, but something about Antihero intrigues me more than the usual hero-villain encounters should. It’s because of him that I impulsively signed up for a dating app, hoping a meaningless fling with a local normie will help get my head back in the game. The truth is, what I really want is someone who sees me—the man behind the mask. But that’s a luxury no superhero can afford.
