A SUPERHERO CALLED DOBERMAN
by John and Shami Stovall
GENRE: Superhero Fantasy
Blurb:
Leon Lewis is essentially the reincarnation of Anubis, but the idiot street thugs don’t know what a jackal is, so they call him “Doberman” instead…
Which works out, because in this new age of superheroes, most names are copyrighted.
It all started thirty-one years ago…
Humans began being born with a new organ called the “facet gland,” which mutated their bodies and granted them superhuman abilities. Each person’s power is unique, but one fact quickly emerged: these abilities were subject to progression and advancement, much like building muscles through exercise.
Complex powers even follow a tier system with multiple improvement paths. And while some use their gifts to benefit humanity, others embrace unprecedented villainy.
Leon grew up idolizing heroes like Nova, Glitter Ninja, and Japan’s fan-favorite Shine Shine Hero. But his own abilities are dangerous, and could harm random people, so he lives in isolation in a cramped apartment.
That is, until his neighbor, Rachel Anderson, is targeted by the Kings in Yellow—a mysterious street gang infamous for making people vanish.
Leon can’t stand by and do nothing, but activating his abilities might prove fatal…
Because Anubis is death to friends and foes alike.

Excerpt:
Two thugs waited in a dark alley behind a strip club and that was never a good sign.
Leon Lewis stood across the street, staring down the alleyway from a good fifty feet away, watching the two suspicious men. He waited, unblinking, in the safety of a moonlight shadow.
The Eclipse Lounge, one of the few high-quality strip clubs in Sacramento, only operated from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. because only the saddest of sacks went to an adult entertainment lounge in the middle of the day. That meant it was always dark when Leon came to visit, and he was extra familiar with the dank surroundings, neon flashing lights, and overstuffed dumpsters.
He also knew who usually came and went. These gangbangers weren’t on the regulars list.
Don’t get the wrong impression, though. Leon never, not even once, went inside the strip club. He had no idea what the interior looked like, and he didn’t care.
He only came to the Eclipse Lounge to make sure one of the girls made it home safely.
Rachel Anderson, who went by the stripper name of Stella Velvet, was Leon’s next-door neighbor. Months ago, she had returned to her apartment with bruises after a long night of work. Since then, Leon had gone out of his way to make sure she got home safely whenever her shift was over.
This would be the third time strange men came to bother Rachel since Leon took up his bodyguard duties. Something was clearly going on.
My Review:
A Superhero Called Doberman serves as a fantastic kickoff to the new series, The Superhero Doberman, authored by John and Shami Stovall. Initially, I was uncertain about what I would discover within the pages of A Superhero Called Doberman, but I was pleasantly surprised by the journey within. It didn’t take long before I found myself completely engrossed in the story.
In mere moments, Doberman captured my heart. I adore both Doberman's and Leon’s characters. I admire how Leon utilizes his superpowers. He epitomizes what it means to be a hero among superheroes. He embodies everything that defines a superhero, utilizing his abilities to protect others from the clutches of evil supervillains.
When Leon’s neighbor, Rachel Anderson, becomes a target of the Kings in Yellow—a notorious street gang known for making people disappear—Leon springs into action, employing his superpowers to locate her before it’s too late.
I am truly captivated by the universe crafted for The Superhero Doberman and eagerly await the release of the next installment in the series. It is a remarkable and thrilling realm filled with superheroes and supervillains. I must confess that I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Superhero Called Doberman far more than I had expected.
I wholeheartedly endorse A Superhero Called Doberman to all enthusiasts of the superhero genre! Acquire a copy of A Superhero Called Doberman and join Leon and Doberman in their fight against crime today!
