Space Limericks

AstroAcademy-300rgb

There once was a boy who retired

From a superhero gig that backfired

So he went off to school

And was mostly uncool

But still his old enemies conspired.

(This book is also not out in stores; you cannot go to try to read it to see how much more awesome it is than this limerick.  Believe me, the amount by which it is more awesome is LOTS.)
