Description:

Chloe Cole wants to stop the crazy dreams she's having--that she's a costumed superheroine who flies and shoots power bolts out of her fingers to do battle with a menacing supervillain. And what about the weird comic book artwork spam that arrives on her computer? And the reports in the media about supervillain sightings? Is Chloe, a struggling webcomics artist, the cause of real-life chaos?

To stop her life from imploding even more, Chloe desperately agrees to a stint on a television superhero game show that puts her in intimate contact with an enigmatic comic book company executive, and gives her a chance to question a beloved comics icon. But Chloe must cross over to a bizarre mirror universe to find answers--and start living her dreams. On the hunt for a supervillain with a bad attitude and for a brilliant comic book creator with a grudge against society, Chloe needs all the help she can get to save two universes. PG-rated nonstop comic book style adventure set in two universes, with plenty of super-powered battles and recognizable classic comic book scenarios--and some iffy romance thrown in. Don't miss the sky highway to Iceland.
