Searching for something different, fun & funny, and a good quick read from start to finish? ?Queeroes? is what you?re looking for. Because of it?s ending, I?m hopeful that Steven Bereznai continues their story. I?m eager to return to this group to find out how their lives and powers develop.
After drinking the contaminated yet unharmful bottled drinking water Etienne, the high schoolers gain super abilities. Knowing how responsible and mature teens can be, you already know they can handle their new found super powers in the right way. Yeah, right. Let the drama begin!
The captain of the wrestling team is hiding in the closet in more ways than just with his sexuality. Torn between his former best friend Jesse and the son of the football coach, Troy Allstar develops empathic super powers. Not only can he feel what others are feeling, in addition he learns that he is able to make others feel their true feelings too.
The skinny Dungeons & Dragons playing and Star Trek, (however The Next Generation is not dorky to watch according to Mandy?s confession), watching little brother of Troy?s gains super strength. To stir the drama pot, Gibbie Allstar has a big crush on Chad, and he also doesn?t know that his older brother is gay.
Chad Lenwick, the football coach?s son, is an out, flamboyant, hunky queen, and cheerleader, who physically transforms into a wild predator. The animal in him really shows, with fur, pointy ears, and cat-like eyes. Chad isn?t aware of Gibbie?s strong feelings for him. When the cheerleader makes out with Troy, things start to fall apart between Chad and his best friend Mandy.
Mandy Kim, (not a fag hag), who does her best to make herself stand out and be noticed has the power to be invisible, and she can project a force field. What good is looking this good if no one can see you and appreciate it?
What good is a group of new super heroes without super villains to battle against, right? The vengeful Liza keeps to herself and tries to hide behind her long hair and baggy clothes. She has the super power of sonic voice and singing people to sleep. It sounds weird and pathetic, but it can actually be quite handy at times. When she speaks, she really has something to say!
The gothic vampire teen Devon Dedarling is the creepiest of them all. He melds himself with another person or thing and makes it into something new and different. Sometimes it is art, but most of the time it?s an abomination! Not only because of his super power, he is creepy because he accidentally kills his mother, and shows no remorse. Because of his true hatred for her, he is a monster.
As these teens learn to be comfortable with their own sexuality, and as old walls and barriers come down between them, bullies, and popularity, they learn to work together as a team for the greater good. Troy knowing the secrets that others keep to themselves, and with the wild cat inside Chad, the football team has a real chance to go to state for the first time in ten years.
More importantly, who ends up with who? Does Troy come out and stay out? Will he reunite with Jesse or steal his little brother?s true love, Chad away? Is Mandy really a lesbian, and will she remain friends with Chad, continuing to be her token homo? Will Liza see the murderous dark in Devon, come out from hiding, and keep herself open to be loved? Alternatively, will she stay with Devon, and fulfill his plan to not only kill the Queeroes, but also destroy the school with them?
