There are times when the storytelling veers ever so slightly into metafiction. Like its unabashedly long title, The Ultra Fabulous Glitter Squadron Saves the World Again g
No other superheroes are as dedicated or dazzling as these gals. Wise's debut collection of heroic tales is half whimsy and half 1950s pulp reborn for the 21st century..
